The project aims to incorporate intergenerational living through the provision of two family units and an Elder suite all sharing one roof. The two-family units bookend a central Elders unit. The families can help take care of the Elder(s) yard work, maintenance among other tasks, while in return, the Elders can help take care of the children living in the other two units and share their experience and knowledge with the families. This home has the opportunity to set a new standard for healthy housing in Métis Communities within the Boreal Forest Ecozone. This project will meet and exceed Net-Zero Ready Requirements. Construction documentation has been completed and the project is pursuing additional funding to begin construction. Intern Architect Jason Surkan spent time in the community listening and learning to the needs of community members prior to any design work commencing. This project showcases a true mutual collaboration between community members and the design team resulting in culturally relevant, healthy housing.
