One thing that Cascadia has way more of than Europe is giant evergreen trees. A courtyard-style development like this that uses appropriate landscaping could feel like living in a rainforest treehouse in a way that I think would be really unique to our region.

Trying to figure out the right balance of density, coverage, setbacks etc to create a type of Single-Stair-Urbanism that can work in and around existing Vancouver lots (33', 50', 66' x 122').

The big conifers can be pretty problematic with a high coverage plex, but with a small footprint mini tower it could be a nice complement.
