The Clive, Oak Bay Village, Victoria Apartments, BC, Canada
The Clive is a purpose-designed 17-unit apartment building to replace an 8-unit apartment building in Oak Bay Village. Cascadia Architects designed the Clive to achieve a number of programmatic, urban design, and sustainability targets while remaining respectful of the scale and historic mixed commercial/residential typology of the Village.
The Clive is a carefully considered, LEED-certified project which incorporates a series of sustainable and green features into its design. Located on a previously developed infill lot, the project is situated within walking and cycling distance to many amenities. Through the inclusion of at-grade, weather-protected bicycle storage and car share memberships for all units, its design encourages residents to minimize their dependence on the automobile.
On-site stormwater management in a native landscape bioswale animates the pedestrian experience along Clive Drive, along with an innovative “green-cleaning” education program for residents, while exterior shading devices on the southern facade mitigate solar gains and augment energy efficiency.
This redevelopment responds directly to all the key criteria that organizations such as Canada Green Building Council (LEED) and SmartGrowth BC identify as necessary to create sustainable, healthy communities for future generations.
