Located within the inner-city northeast Calgary community of Bridgeland, Faro will provide a much-needed injection of rental housing stock into this evolving historic neighbourhood. The project has been designed to complement the City of Calgary’s ongoing Bridgeland Main Streets project along 1 Avenue NE with an architectural response that is modern yet reflective of the heritage Bridgeland-Riverside.
Designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind, this project outperforms the National Energy Code for Buildings 2017 reference building by approximately 30%. The project was one of the first multifamily projects submitted through the City of Calgary’s Green Buildings Priority Stream Program, which allows for expedited permit reviews for green projects. Faro at Bridgeland is qualifying for CMHC MLI Select financing through the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions pathway.

By curving the building on both the west and east sides, we introduced building entrances, added patios and balconies to the middle units, improved the building’s connection to the urban space, and enhanced the pedestrian experience.

Height adjustments were made based on bylaw height restrictions and to ensure neighbours’ privacy.

We enhanced the feel of an old neighbourhood by incorporating red brick and black stucco into the building’s design.
