3650万(欧元）来重塑位于该市的盖斯敦遗产区的阿尔罕布拉宫、绳索、车库、终点站和宏伟的建筑,重现温哥华之梦。它展现了连续的经济波动和1886年的大火,横贯大陆铁路的到来,1887年克朗代克河淘金狂潮,1896年在世纪之交的建筑热潮。

它在2009年完成,复兴了五个温哥华最古老的建筑遗址。盖斯敦历史社区现在成为了一个充满活力的生活、工作、社交和商务区。

开发计划呼吁混合的住宅和商业的使用密度增加100%。该项目刻意避免伪装成“新遗产”,而是建立一个真正的对话新老。五个相邻基地的更新保留了现有的历史性街道,合并集体,建立一个临界的质量。终点站与车库、庭院和阿尔罕布拉宫组建一个在盖斯敦附近的新的块城市区。

新建筑面积在战略上是分布式的，加强和巩固现有的成分特征。添加健壮的砖石历史性的砖墙与对比钢铁和玻璃结构,或者是直接构建传统与现代、外墙混凝土和坚实的砌体结构。

现有结构的位置和世纪之交窗开口导致各种各样的单元类型,包括3米宽20米长的单位间。滑动玻璃门调整空间和光线。面向小巷的商业使用救活了以前被忽视的公共空间。

现有的建筑材料,包括砌筑,大木列和梁,和木头窗户被回收和重用。一个组合的地热系统，旨在比传统的邻居消耗更少的能源。绿色屋顶系统减少暴雨水并在城市环境创建一个很酷的小气候。

The (EURO) 36.5 million adaptive re-use of the historic Alhambra, Cordage, Garage, Terminus and Grand buildings, revives the dream of Vancouver’s earliest settlement, located in the city’s Gastown Heritage District, that was manifest through successive economic waves that followed the Great Fire in 1886, the arrival of the transcontinental railway in 1887, the Klondike Gold Rush in 1896, and a construction boom at the turn of the century. Completed in 2009, the urban revitalization of five of Vancouver’s oldest heritage buildings has energized a symbolically signi?cant area of the Gastown historic neighbourhood as a vibrant quarter for living, working, socializing and commerce.

The development program called for a mixture of residential and commercial uses with a 100% increase in density. The project deliberately avoids masquerading as “new heritage” and instead establishes an authentic dialogue between new and old. The five adjacent sites were renewed incrementally to retain the existing historic street-level character, and collectively, to establish a critical mass for revitalization. The Terminus now links with the Grand, the Cordage interconnects with the Garage, and the courtyard and mews of the Alhambra amalgamates with the others to form a new piece of urban fabric within the historic Gastown neighbourhood. New building area is strategically distributed to strengthen and reinforce the compositional character of the existing heritage streetscape. New upper additions are set back from robust masonry historic street-fronts with contrasting steel and glass structure, or are built directly upon traditional facades with contemporary, solid-faced concrete and masonry structures.
