Lakeshore Residences

Kelowna, BC

A masterplan for the entire site development will encompass over 1,000 residential units, with ground-oriented townhouses, commercial space, high-rise, and mid-rise buildings. This transforms a lakeside brownfield into a vibrant, mixed-use district that knits mid-rise residences, generous public waterfront, and a lively retail promenade into a cohesive community gateway for Kelowna. Anchoring the neighbourhood’s eastern edge, a series of back-to-back stacked townhomes embodies the plan’s human-scaled ethos: slender three-storey bars are interlocked to maximize passive daylighting and cross-ventilation, while private rooftop terraces and garden-level patios give every home a direct dialogue with the outdoors. Thoughtful mass stepping and finely textured façades transition gracefully to the adjacent single-family context, proving that higher density can feel both intimate and unmistakably Okanagan.
