BC Housing & OMAHS Affordable Rental Apartments

Meiklejohn Architects is providing full architectural services for the Okanagan Metis & Aboriginal Housing Society (OMAHS) five-storey 48-unit rental apartment project located on Kneller Road in Rutland, Kelowna which is currently in the permitting and design phase. The project site was carved out of larger site that was created by a major road realignment project completed in 2018 and OMHAS worked with our office, BC Housing, Kelowna Women’s Shelter (represented by Terra Housing), and Scuka Construction to define two project sites.

The new building references the design language of a neighbouring OMAHS owned apartment (named Nissen Crossing) through the use of similar colours, materials and exterior elements while the planning of the building aims to bring familiarity, comfort and connection and extending the outdoor amenity into the building through large patios.
