Homeownership Options for Age-in-Place Housing

To keep our communities healthy and strong, SAS Architecture is committed to housing solutions that support neighbors, culture, economy, and the environment we live in.

This video looks at densification strategies for age-in-place homeownership, in low-scale residential neighborhoods and compares this with high-density infill. The video is 1:48 minutes long.

Age-in-place housing is for seniors who wish to downsize and remain in their communities.

What is age-in-place housing? Examples of aging-in-place are: downsizing to back-alley homes, or generating passive income for families on back-alley lots where services already exist. This is an affordable home ownership model and a sustainable densification strategy.

When it comes to high density infill, we listen to communites. We hear citizens ask for healthy sustainable neighborhoods. We understand the communities’ concerns and we design for density with that in mind.

We are often asked these questions related to the Land Use Bylaw:

Does this reduce homeownership for families, seniors and young couples?
Will this increase housing land value?
What is the impact on biodiversity?
How does this impact daylighting quality on adjacent properties?

That’s why we propose housing solutions like: Aging-in-Place (the Flag Lot), to create homeownership and energy-efficient solutions for many!
