Building Beachburg

A deeper dive into a new foundation for high-quality, affordable living - for everyone.

By standardizing housing typologies and using mass timber prefab construction, we can drastically reduce per-unit costs and delivery timelines, while supporting Canadian manufacturing and skilled trades.

Designing "The Beachburg Block".

The Beachburg Block System is designed around a repetitive core design with customizable layouts. This results in high-quality, unique, and beautiful surroundings while allowing for both time and cost-savings through mass-manufacturing techniques.

Human-First.

Designing Around Walkability & Community.

The Beachburg Block returns to Canadian roots through its human-first design. It takes lessons learned over centuries of human scale communities in Canada and around the globe, and applies modern knowledge & techniques to create well-designed communities, built to last.

Customizable, Yet Standardized.

Beachburg Blocks use standardized 6-storey massings and pre-fabricated elements to achieve world-class quality and affordability.

It then expands on these standards using high degrees of modularity in block layouts and facade designs to ensure every community feels distinct.

A Generational Investment. A Proven Idea.

From Paris' Haussmann Blocks to Barcelona's Cerdà Blocks, this idea isn't new. In fact, this idea has built some of the most recognizable and beloved cities on earth.

Now, it's Canada's turn -- and we'll do it even better.

More to come.
