The Sumac
The Sumac is a 384 sq. ft. self-contained modular housing unit that balances privacy with thoughtful community integration. Inside, it features a comfortable sleeping zone, a full ensuite bathroom, a compact kitchenette, and a built-in desk or workspace. Each unit includes a covered deck for outdoor use, energy-efficient windows, and durable, low-maintenance finishes throughout.
This CSA A277-certified build is ideal for Indigenous communities, municipalities, non-profits, and developers seeking rapid, permanent solutions. The unit is designed for flexibility and performance, and it’s ready for immediate deployment in both urban and remote environments.
"From the cedar-accented exterior to the calming, light-filled interior, The Sumac feels like home. Inside, every square foot is intentional—providing space to rest, cook, work, and recover. Outside, it’s part of something bigger: a connected, walkable site plan that brings neighbors together in a way that feels natural."
