Maerkl + Maerkl Architects
Maerkl + Maerkl Architects, based in Vancouver, BC, is pioneering a Novelty Building Type Concept known as the Smart Urban Island (SUI). This innovative approach focuses on urban densification by placing modern towers on stilts above existing rental apartment buildings, effectively addressing challenges such as climate change, urban sprawl, and the decline of affordable housing.
The firm emphasizes a clear fusion of new and old architectural elements, prioritizing functional design over unnecessary decorations. By integrating in-house amenities like childcare and restaurants, Maerkl + Maerkl Architects aims to enhance urban living for young professionals and families while promoting sustainability and reducing commuting times.
