Climate-driven housing for New-Wes-Valley, Newfoundland

Using the land as our canvas, BIOSIS is delivering a much-needed, climate-driven residential development for the Town of New-Wes-Valley in Newfoundland, Canada. The design responds thoughtfully to the rugged terrain, limited development-ready land, and growing demand for homes. As always, we work with nature to create resilient, site-specific architecture that strengthens local communities.

The project will provide 17 multi-unit homes and a commercial space, all featuring ocean views and close access to local amenities. By introducing this new housing model, we are bringing greater diversity to the rural Atlantic landscape—welcoming families, seniors, singles, and newcomers into an inclusive and connected community.

The project is being developed in collaboration with unArchitecture Ltd. and the Town of New-Wes-Valley.

Exploring New-Wes-Valley: Our First Site Visit

Our first site visit with our local partner, unArchitecture, took us to the rugged landscapes of New-Wes-Valley, Newfoundland and Labrador - a place where bedrock shapes both the terrain and the architectural challenges ahead. Designing for such an environment calls for a climate-driven, minimal-impact approach, ensuring that new structures integrate seamlessly with their natural surroundings.

A heartfelt thank you to the New-Wes-Valley community for the warm welcome, even in the midst of snow and cold. We’re excited to begin this meaningful project and look forward to developing resilient housing solutions that respect the land and support the community.

Stay tuned as we bring this vision to life!
