| Thursday, December 15, 2011 Micro suites in Abbotsfordby Clarence Jensen on Thu, Dec, 15, 2011 05:14 PM
Sixty four single Seniors will have a new “micro suite” home on Braun Avenue in Abbotsford BC. There are some unique and interesting points about this project. The first part is the housing location, the second is the new housing dynamic, and finally the cultural changes as they exist in the area.
The project was designed to accommodate people who either walk or use transit to satisfy their needs in all areas of living, such as; health care, food, recreation, and education. As this type of housing develops it is expected that there will be a greater concentration of services available.This type of housing change will allow people to live independently even though their space is modest in size. This is balanced by the affordability of the home and by the many modern features in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and living area.
The next expected change will occur in very culture of the area. As new developments enter an area ittypically does not take long before further developments happen. The socio-economic factors will also change the area makeup of people living there and in the area. Are you up for this type of social housing?
