Coco, Canada
Nominated for two Georgie awards inducing ‘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.
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! The project is also the first concrete project to include Lumon’s concept within North America.
- Building address: Vancouver, British Columbia
- Building type: New
- Developer: Keltic Developments
- Architect: GBL Architects
- Builder: Kindred Construction
- Units with Lumon glazing: 15
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.
