Archetype Building
space IN PROGRESS
This dynamic mixed-used building is anchored on the east and west by two mid-rise towers bridged by an 8-storey residential building, and unified by creative industrial spaces that wrap around the entire development. With a bold approach and unique identity, Archetype is bringing a new model to Vancouver.
made for makers and innovators
Archetype is designed around attracting makers and innovators. As such the materiality has been chosen based on the idea of using raw materiality to showcase craftsmanship and creation. Poured concrete floors, architectural white brick, pressed metal and re-purposed wood make up the palette in a blend of sophistication and creativity.
Archetype celebrates community and flexibility by providing over 3,400 SF of common rooftop amenity space. Every small detail has been designed with businesses in mind. With a fully stocked kitchen, keg tap, movable whiteboards, and bar seating, this is an outstanding amenity for both creative industrial and office tenants.
With a strikingly bold architectural design, the 69,000 SF office tower is clad in vertical metal louvers to create a sense of verticality and rhythm. The AAA office space has 11′ high ceilings, and is designed to LEED® Gold Core and Shell specifications. Office spaces will be sub-divided into smaller individual strata units to maximize long-term liquidity for owners, whose business needs change over time.
Archetype offers over 35,000 SF of creative industrial space, ideal for ideation and innovation. It’s perfect for creative designers and manufacturers who want to interact with the surrounding community while bringing their ideas to life. Every unit has expansive retail storefront-style windows with sliding glass doors or overhead doors.
