Coco, Vancouver
Nominated for two Georgie awards including ‘most innovative feature’
The project ‘Coco’ located in Vancouver is a new project development and is special, as it is the first project to be built by Lumon in the city of Vancouver itself. The project is also the first concrete project to include Lumon’s concept within North America.
From an architectural perspective, it also works to combine elegance and Nordic simplicity, while bringing life to the facade itself through the ways in which residents choose to put the units to use!
- Project name: Coco, Vancouver
- Units with Lumon: 15
- Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
- Engineer/Design/Architect: GBL Architects
- Developer/Builder: Keltic Developments / Kindred Construction
- Address: 5733 Alberta Street, Vancouver, British Columbia
- Project Type: New Construction
- Product Type: Lumon Postless Railing with Heavy Duty Posts, Lumon Glazing Retractable
- Aluminum Colour: Dark Grey (RAL7024)
- Glass Colour: Clear
- Project Completion: 2021
To add a touch of uniqueness to the project, Kindred Construction incorporated special features like Lumon glazing systems, allowing them to bring a highly customized element to an otherwise standard construction landscape. Leveraging their expertise as a custom builder, they skillfully executed these tailored elements while seamlessly integrating a commercial approach to ensure efficiency and speed. By collaborating closely with Lumon and the architect GBL, they successfully captured Keltic’s vision and delivered a stunning result that embodies beauty and excellence.
This architectural solution perfectly adapts to design elements of Lumon’s product, and the implementation of the retractable glass balconies has opened the doors for the project to be nominated for two Georgie awards including ‘most innovative feature’.
From the developer’s perspective, a major benefit has been the ability to provide access to ‘safe spaces‘ from inside the units, with significant protection from noise, considering the proximity of passing traffic.
