The Belyea Residence is an architecture that brings with it several challenges. As a semi-detached residence, the architecture needed to be cautious of how the design would impact not only the surrounding urban fabric, but also the neighbouring dwelling. With deliberate moves to separate the residences, and provide appropriate fire ratings, the Belyea Residence brings with it phenomenal design that proves to not only be aesthetically beautiful rather, functional for the new homeowners and their growing family.
