Monashee

Nestled between Victoria’s vibrant Upper Fort Street and Cook Street Village, The Monashee is an infill design that integrates elegant curved urban architecture among a classic Victoria streetscape.

Award winning Cascadia Architects have thoughtfully redesigned 1120 Burdett to enhance the street’s urban fabric. The design team has expressed each façade in a unique way to integrate the experience with the neighbouring context. A three storey street face terraces up to the north allowing light and air to surround each home; the terraced design is amplified by an expansive south facing urban courtyard space paying tribute to the traditional u-shape building typologies scattered throughout Rockland and Fairfield. Highlights of warm vertical batten siding express a traditional palette, developing a familiar rhythm along the street. While depressed and curved forms are distinguished at each level and edge, reminiscent of the character defining devices used throughout the neighbourhood.
