Nestled between green fields and picturesque valleys, the Aura Townhouses offer the
best of country “village” life combined with a modern, urban style. Three clusters of
five units back on to each other and create a house-like form that faces all directions.
A unique colour palette identifies the individual homes, and the unit clusters are
spun at different angles to create a random character. As all the parking is surface,
it was important to visually control the space through the use of carports which
cover over 50% of the stalls. This feature also creates a scale transition between
unit groups. The project is BUILT GREEN® to EnerGuide 80 standards and features
efficient gas fired hot water tanks, rain screen exterior wall systems, durable
hardiplank siding for easy-care maintenance, engineered wood truss roof system and
large double glazed ENERGY STAR® vinyl windows.
