Small Suite Demonstration Project
This display home offers a compact housing option for high density urban living. The 215-square-foot home has all the amenities of a regular home - except the extra space. This form of housing may address a range of housing needs for urban singles, first-time home buyers, student renters, and/or seniors looking to downsize. This unit design can be combined in a range of configurations from a single studio to small projects or high-rise towers. A twelve unit version can fit on a standard city residential lot, with room for co-op parking and front and back yards.

This prototype is constructed using a wood product called cross-laminated timber. CLT has the same characteristics as concrete, but is more sustainable. It allows builders to use wood for buildings six to 10 storeys high. The CLT in this display home is from wood affected by the mountain pine beetle and is one of the first buildings in Vancouver to use CLT.

The World of Play will be a venue that offers the public a chance to come and play and learn about how the organization improves the lives of children living in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world.

The World Of Play also features a Play Zone where children and families can experience Right To Play game sessions led by trained volunteers. The pavilion will serve as the hub for athletes, media, visitors and members of the community to come together to learn more about and support Right To Play. The World Of Play offers a participatory learning experience to the public and is a celebration of Right To Play’s efforts to improve the lives of children all over the world.
