Angular Gastown Building

Angular Gastown Building

The many "flatiron" buildings in Vancouver's Gastown came about as a result of two intersecting city planning grids. The first followed the original high-tide waterline of the Burrard Inlet. The second was a grid layout, the result of a later survey by the Canadian Pacific Railway to establish the soon-to-be-incorporated City of Vancouver.

The intersections of the two non-parallel surveys conflicted with each other yielding many acutely angled parcels of land. The subsequent build-form is a product of constructing right out to the property lines, thereby maximizing the leasable floor space area.
