TripTych

Vancouver, BC

A prefabricated modular housing system intended to increase density and affordability in Vancouver. The BENTO Housing System will feature triplex, duplex, laneway, and single family residence layouts, and facilitate conversion of the three options to have services already in place and require minimal renovations.

ASPECT provided the structural design for the proposed prototype, which is a 2,450 square foot, single-family dwelling intended for the Vancouver market. Presently, the extent of the prototype is a 25 x 49 foot, two-storey structure with a roof deck, a crawl space, a courtyard, and a single-car garage. The proposed structural system is light wood frame atop conventional concrete foundations, using a modified version of another prefabricated housing system called BOSS (Building Offsite Sustainable System), which ASPECT has prior experience with as well.
