The city of Vancouver is developing 'Vienna House', a seven-storey mass timber building, in an effort to provide affordable and sustainable housing. The project is part of a partnership between BC Housing, the City of Vancouver, and More than a Roof Housing Society, aimed at creating 123 units for vulnerable groups. It aligns with changes to British Columbia’s construction code to allow taller timber buildings, supporting goals for reducing carbon emissions. The construction uses cross-laminated timber, contributing to both climate resilience and waste reduction.
