405 Hillhurst 18+18

405 Hillhurst 18+18 uses a stacked unit approach to increase the density in Hillhurst, a centrally located community in Calgary. With a total of 36 units, arranged in an 18 + 18 configuration. This large H-GO development introduces a fresh urban housing community and prioritizes alternative transportation options. The development includes plenty of bicycle storage & parking options and it is near local transit, emphasizing the evolving need for more sustainable transportation.

The development consists of 3-storey townhouse units with secondary basement suites. The development is scale sensitive and breaks up the large street facing massing, using a pathway to separate the frontage and enter into the shared common courtyard amenity space. The shared central amenity space serves as a communal focal point, promoting a sense of community within the development.

Embracing a modern aesthetic for urban homes, the facades use durable Hardie paneling, light tan brick, and black metal cladding, infusing sophisticated colours into the architectural palette. 405 Hillhurst 18+18 harmoniously blends with the existing neighborhood and stands on a corner lot to embrace the ongoing revitalization of the neighbourhood. Located on 19th street, the development will offer residents quick access into the vibrant Kensington sector and to surrounding parks.
