KW Habilitation Affordable Housing
Kitchener, Ontario
KW Habilitation Inclusive Living Residence
Constructed for KW Habilitation, this four-storey, 18-unit affordable housing development delivers essential residential solutions that support inclusive community living for individuals with developmental disabilities. Designed to foster independence, accessibility, and a strong sense of belonging, the project reflects the organization’s mission of creating a community where everyone can participate and thrive.
Built using a modern hybrid Nail Laminated Timber (NLT) and conventional wood superstructure, the development combines innovative construction methodologies with efficient, sustainable building practices to deliver high-quality housing with long-term durability and structural integrity. Frost wall foundations support a thoughtfully composed exterior featuring brick cladding at the main level and Hardieboard siding from the second through fourth floors, creating a contemporary and resilient building envelope designed for longevity and low maintenance.
