Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, the six-storey mixed-use development at 1082 Granville Street introduces a contemporary urban landmark that blends hospitality, wellness, and flexible work-life spaces into one compact 13,440 sq.ft. footprint. The building features 21 short-term residential hotel suites above an active, publicly engaging ground plane that includes a café, pub, and amenity spaces such as a gym, co-working areas, and a sauna. The ground level is designed to immediately connect with the energy of Granville Street, while upper floors transition into more private and retreat-oriented environments for guests and tenants. A night-time façade strategy, expressed through illuminated horizontal bands and a transparent ground-floor entry, adds a striking visual presence to the entertainment district.
The design begins with the question: What story does this place need to tell? Situated between historic and eclectic neighboring buildings, the project seeks to contribute a contemporary chapter to Granville Street’s layered urban fabric. The massing and glazed expression are intentionally modern and minimal, creating a refined contrast while maintaining a strong human-scaled relationship to the street.
Interior program stacking is organized to support a gradient of experiences—from public to private, active to restorative—making the building not only a place to stay, but a destination for socializing, working, and recharging within Vancouver’s most vibrant downtown corridor.
