Gitwangak Affordable Housing
Kitwanga, BC
For millennia, Gitxsans's have maintained communities at canyons and junctions on the Xsan (the river of mists), or colonial name Skeena River. Longhouses and smokehouses were often built at its shore.
Working closely with the Gitwangak Housing Society, a creative modular housing solution for elders and families, with a centralized long house inspired room and ground level outdoor space program to include:
- Outdoor Gathering Place for storytelling, performance, and ceremony
- Nature Play
- Medicinal and Food Garden
