Description
Collaboration and problem-solving between architecture and planning are essential to advancing low-rise housing solutions in the face of the climate crisis. Innovative modular designs can’t move beyond the drawing board without planning frameworks that enable their development. We explore how planning regulations, building codes, construction efficiencies, and proformas collectively shape both the built form and the human experience, as Canada works to scale up mass housing production.
Learning Objectives
- Understand smart design and planning for the missing middle.
- Learn how architects are shaping of Canada's low-rise modular market.
- Discover the architect's' role in critical municipal growth planning.
- Understand the interdependencies of infill and complete communities.
Presenters:
Rosaline Hill, Principal Architect, Senior Planner, and Development Consultant for RJH Architecture + Planning
Rosaline is a registered professional planner and multi-award-winning architect, including "Designer of the Year" for the 2021 GOHBA awards. She began her architectural practice in 2011 after a decade of working at Hobin Architecture, as well as 4 years of work in Toronto and London, England. As both architect and development consultant, she has a wide experience of infill development in Ottawa. Her projects are largely residential and are part of the streetscape of neighbourhoods across the nation's capital, from custom singles to 'missing middle' development to mid-rise apartment buildings. Rosaline's thorough knowledge of Ottawa's Official Plan and other regulations allows for designs that win approvals and make the City a better place to live. She has consulted for the City of Ottawa on R4 zoning, and volunteers with the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association (GOHBA) providing input on upcoming infill bylaws. Rosaline has engaged in extensive research on the patterns and forces governing neighbourhood evolution. In 2020 she founded Walkable Ottawa and now works collaboratively to advance walkability in urban neighbourhoods. She also founded Ottawa Cohousing to bring the tools and expertise for people to build new homes and cohouse communities together.
