BLOC_10 is an innovative and affordable condominium

development located in River Heights, on the corner of
Niagara Street and Grant Avenue. The beautiful treelined area is close to downtown, the citys best parks,
and in the heart of one of Winnipegs most desirable
neighbourhoods.
BLOC_10 presents the street with a fresh facade that
is articulated with a wood screen. The screen allows
for a transitional space between the privacy of the units
and public life on the street. It also frames views and
disperses light to enhance the outdoor and indoor living
spaces.

The three storey, 50 x 90 foot building features 10 unique,

three storey condominiums. Each condominium has
three separate living spaces, which fold out from the
central stair core, allowing 8 of 10 units to enjoy a corner
space with multiple views. The sequential stair runs,
coupled with alternating views & orientations gives the
interior a sense of space beyond its physical dimensions,
and provides each condo unit with its own unique spatial
experience.

We have within our natures

tendencies
toward
both
communality and individuality.
A good house supports both
kinds of experience: the
intimacy of a private haven
and our participation with the
public world.
