Overview
Modular housing for the world’s athletes.
The Whistler Athletes’ Village Townhouses were created for VANOC as part of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Village at Cheakamus Crossing. Twenty two-story homes were constructed using a modular system by Britco, allowing much of the work to be completed off site before final assembly in Whistler. Site-built heavy timber canopies and roof elements helped unify the modular forms and give the buildings a character suited to their mountain setting, while cementitious board-and-batten siding and shingle panels completed the exterior expression. After the Games, the temporary bedroom components were removed so the homes could continue as part of Whistler’s long-term athlete housing legacy.
