This existing private-road community is comprised of modest split-level homes from the early 1960s. The new owner sought to intensify the property with additional dwelling units increasing its FSI by 50%. Through assesment of existing site conditions and planning regulations, the stacked townhouse configuration is determined to be the most appropriate fit. The viability of this scheme hinges on the confirmation of these early planning considerations and engineering verifications. Standard Practice provided the architectural framework for these planning applications.
