m.arch 2 arch 700: senior research studio i instructor: jeff lyness The spaces we inhabit deeply affect every aspect of our physical, mental, and emotional being (as unfortunately highlighted throughout the COVID-19 pandemic). With that in mind, we sought to design a sustainable community that encourages interactions, promotes walkability, and fosters inclusivity and diversity. Located in the community of Southview in Calgary, Alberta, our project focuses on diversity and intergenerational interaction.

The massing was driven by the surrounding typologies, while the elevated path connects each building while merging public and private. The programming not only responds to people’s needs but also provides opportunities for growth. Occupants produce their food and are served to the community through a market, while waste is recycled to assist in the production of a circular economy.

Mixing of unit type encourages interaction between people of different ages and backgrounds, leading to a healthier social life for occupants, creating ‘mini-communities’ within the larger whole.

Cascade Housing is a project that seeks to bring people together via the built environment, all while creating a model community that can inspire the future of housing.
