We’ll ask the right questions.
We’ll have the tough conversations.
A conventional design process is a risky strategy in a world that is changing by the minute.
People must come first.
We design for multi-dimensional experiences.
Blended environments offer visitors and residents enhanced and amplified lifestyle options.
Residential design is informed by how people live in their homes and within their communities. Home exists in every setting imaginable – from soaring towers, to mixed-use developments, new communities, in-fill projects, and revitalization initiatives. Regardless of the expression, creating a home is about creating a sense of place by responding and relating to its unique context. A diverse product and amenity mix will reflect how different people live and the variety required for sustainable neighbourhoods.
Design is further strengthened through the connections between people and spaces. Healthy developments allow for easy access to a variety of services and amenities, promote walkability, and facilitate connections between indoor and outdoor environments. Our integrated residential design solutions align best practice principles from urban planning, landscape, architecture, interior design, renewal, and hospitality to create livable and sustainable communities.

A prime model of mixed-use, transit-oriented development within an urban context, 900 Albert Street is a component of Ottawa’s urban renewal initiative and features residential units, and office and retail space. Close to the newly renovated Bayview Station, it’s the only transfer point between the Confederation LRT and Trillium Lines, making it not only a major hub for residents but also for transit users. Working within a limited land area and considering the population growth the development brings, we address the need for open outdoor space through clearly defined areas. A community trail system along the east side of the site runs parallel to the transit tracks to provide a safe green space that buffers the development. Featuring accent unit paving, the main pedestrian link uses the ground plane as a design canvas to connect people to the public realm along the length of the community. This link culminates with a sculptural canopy at the development’s main corner that acts as a gateway to the community. The multi-tower development includes two residential towers with over 1,200 units, 500,000 sq.ft. of office space and a vibrant multi-level retail podium. This Transite Oriented Development takes full advantage of its multi-modal context to create a new exciting hub in Ottawa.

As the first phase in the Trinity Hills Development, the Southern Town Centre block will set the tone for the remainder of the development. Designed with S9 Architecture, this project will comprise seven buildings terraced to make best use of the natural slopes. As these lands hold significant importance to the Blackfoot peoples, the project also features artwork and landscaping that speak to their history and culture.
The upper plaza of the project is home to the larger commercial buildings including an anchor grocery store, pet store and discount goods store that have been built to tenant standards in harmonious styles. A sense of connection is created between these buildings through sidewalks and landscaping that carry through the site to the Paskapoo Slope trails, further entrenching the development’s deep connection to nature.
At the base of the slope, two paired wood frame buildings are being built to serve Calgary’s emerging rental market. These buildings epitomize the live-work-play philosophy defining the entire development. By delivering urban conveniences with ample outdoor access, these buildings are expected to attract both young professionals and active retirees. The architecture of these buildings echoes styles found further into the mountains with hues and patterns of natural wood featuring predominantly in collaged facades peppered with projecting balconies and framing elements. The base of these buildings contain small-scale retail and restaurants to activate the street level, as well as entrance lobbies which front the development’s main street and conceal necessary parking structures. Bringing residents even closer to nature, 5 of the upper levels of residential units start with a fenced in plaza which faces landscaped gardens. These two buildings are crowned with dramatic cantilevered sloping roofs reminiscent of the mountains beyond and are divided by a series of steps and terraces designed with Urban Systems.
B+H has been involved with the following for Trinity Hills:
• Completion of the Development Approvals (DP)
• Revision of DP submissions
• Review of DSSP
• Participation in Urban Design Review Panel, and Calgary Planning Commission (CPC) review

Sited at the southeast corner of the Little Mountain residential community, the proposed eight storey mixed-use building consists of 126 market residential units, with retail at grade.
The design concept is a response to the three mature Norway Maples lining Main Street. The design features a facade and terraces that curve around the existing trees. The vertical section steps to reduce the perceived mass at grade and provide solar access to the Public Plaza. Designed to meet LEED Gold sustainability criteria, the building will have double-glazed windows, landscaped patios, solar panels, solar shading, and a rooftop garden.
Estimated construction cost is $46 million. The project was unanimously approved by the Urban Design Panel in February, 2019.
