W16 by Olson Kundig: Iconic West Side
November 24, 2023
Poised to raise the bar on iconic living in Cambie Village, W16 is coming to the corner of Cambie and W16th Avenue. Built by Wesgroup and designed by Olson Kundig, an architectural firm with a long history of creating one-of-a-kind, world-class structures, this collection of 53 exquisite homes will breathe new vitality into this popular and prominent Vancouver neighbourhood.
“W16 will be a striking, distinctive building that is experimental yet elegant and unites architecture, individual and nature,” says Olson Kundig’s founder, Tom Kundig.
Blurring the lines between art and architecture, the seven-storey structure will bring together building performance and inspiring design to effortlessly enhance the way contemporary, savvy urbanites live, work and travel.
Meticulously proportioned to optimize both the building’s footprint and each home’s functionality, the façade incorporates a simple material palette that complements the neighbourhood’s timeless character. Bronze panels, sleek glass and street-level textured brick create an eye-catching look that matches the scale of the surrounding area, adding unique dimensions and enhanced livability. “I think it is important not to compete with the landscape—built or natural,” Kundig notes.
Honouring local
For W16, Wesgroup wanted to shape something special in the thriving and much sought-after Cambie Village community. So, they also chose to engage with a team of local, creative visionaries to create a multi-layered experience for those who will call W16 home.
Founded in 2013, Matthew McCormick Studio is celebrated for its experimental design ethos and the artistry that drives its bespoke work. Its innovative Line Light will be featured above every kitchen island. Like all Matthew’s products, these eye-catching fixtures are designed in Vancouver and created by a talented network of manufacturing partners committed to bespoke craftsmanship.
Informprojects, one of Canada’s leaders in high-end European cabinetry, became a natural partner for the building’s millwork. Stosa Cucine is the story of how one man and his family have been producing quality Italian kitchens for more than 55 years. Their designs are internationally recognized and appreciated for innovation and style. Through Informprojects, they will supply the sophisticated kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.
Connected to life
W16 will become the first residential development in the heart of Cambie Village for many years. And buyers are delighted by the proximity to… well, to everything. Downtown Vancouver is just minutes away, and when you’re heading out to distant lands, YVR is a short, direct drive. When nature calls, the world-famous VanDusen Botanical Gardens and Queen Elizabeth Park are nearby, as well as Douglas Park and the famous Seawall.
All this, and there’s still the friendly, inviting ambience that’s made Cambie Village a sought-after pocket of Vancouver’s West Side.
W16 offers just 53 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. Don’t miss this rare opportunity. Be sure to register today at w16byOlsonKundig.com to stay up-to-date.
