Calgary, AB, Canada
We practice architecture because we believe in its capacity to materially enrich the world. We work at multiple scales and in a wide variety of physical and conceptual contexts, but always with the objective of developing robust and resilient designs that can adapt to their environments as they evolve.
.
We commit to designing holistically because we believe the world can only be understood as a whole; consequently, we focus on a creating a density of meaning that emerges through the synthesis of art, architecture, urban design, and landscape design.

As Calgary continues to cultivate growth within its urban core, the success of new public spaces will be defined by their ability to facilitate a critical density of social activity through the provision of flexible, resilient amenity spaces. Located at the edge of the East Village, C-Square serves as both a gateway to and a gathering space for a rapidly evolving urban community.
Poppy Plaza is the first of a series of planned public spaces along The Memorial Drive Landscape of Memory, a 9.5 km pathway that runs parallel to Memorial Drive and is designed to honour the sacrifices of Canadians during wartime.

The redesign considers conditions of safety, cleanliness, lighting, egress, accessibility, and materials to enhance the overall experience traveling through the underpass. Founded on the idea of reclaiming city infrastructure as a ‘space for conversation’, an integrated public art and urban design strategy repositions the site as a better connected street, ready to be explored.

The 1st Street SW Underpass engages a very particular and poetic moment in Calgary’s urban landscape. Pedestrians moving through the underpass leave one urban realm to re-emerge in a new and different condition. The underpass is thus a moment of transition: a gateway between the downtown core to the North and the historic Beltline district to the South.
