Dear Frank Gehry,

We visited your Santa Monica home unannounced in 2015. We snooped, took photos and had some fun imagining being home. It was with admiration and affection that you became better known in our family as Uncle Frank.

From your po-mo play, to your post punk raw industrial to your sculptural finesse, your work helped validate the immense power of the art in architecture. For this we are forever grateful. RIP Frank Gehry.

Last night we celebrated our fearless leader Marianne Amodio for being selected by Vancouver Magazine as a 2025 Power 50 leader. We couldn’t be more proud and she couldn’t be more deserving!

This is what she had to say: “Thank you firstly to my husband & partner Harley Grusko, the HG to my MA. Despite its hardship, it is a blessing to do this work together.

Any power I have is related to our purpose, or highest calling: that the work is an offering beyond just us. This is the most noble and the most powerful part of Architecture: it is a duty to the collective - it is empathetic, promotes diversity, and includes every body.

Now more than ever, the greatest use of any power I may have is for the betterment of all of us, as one.

We are so grateful to our clients who share in this vision.

Thank you also to our brilliant team at the studio, without whom nothing is done.

And of course, my deepest gratitude to Stacey & Anicka & everyone at Vancouver magazine for the enduring support of our work after all these years and for recognizing different and important forms of power.”

In our continued search to find new typologies to address the issues of densification and affordability of our low density neighborhoods, MA+HG presents ‘Little Six’!Little Six, boldly extends on our previous work forming the Vancouver Making Room policy back in 2021, entitled ‘Six’ (units).

Today, and looking towards the future, we need to push significantly further. By focusing on min/max current and upcoming building code rather than existing zoning, a new typology arises.

Little Six is a six storey, light wood framed building on a double wide lot, (66’x122’) and 2.3 FSR in buildable area. Designed upon a single exit stair and a max of 4 units per floor, Little Six could contain 21 units vertically accessed by single stair and elevator for accessibility.

Property setbacks are 10% side yard on both sides, 25’ front and 30’ rear. No basement provided.

Design features could include;

At grade vehicular parking at the lane, up to 7 stalls (.33 stalls /unit)
Bike room, amenity area and storage on level 1.
An equally divided floor plate creates 4 - 2 bedroom corner units at 800+ sqft.
Expansive ‘clip on’ balconies measuring 10’x10’ for all suites.

We believe this typology could significantly address our issues of densification and affordability in the future, while also providing a new typology, a ‘Missing Middle +’. Little Six’s would engage a broader field of architects creating a variety of design responses, providing the city significantly more character than podium towers on maximum lot consolidations.
