    Calgary | The Nines | 22m | 6s | Opus Corporation | Gravity Architecture

    I like the retroness of the sign matching the mid century vibe of the building.

    Hopefully they colour match the easy trim.

    Calgary | Village Block | 27m | 6s | Liberty Housing | Metafor

    Love the brick. Is the paneling around the windows the final product? Not so much a fan of that.

    Calgary | Glenbow Museum | 43m | 9s | DIALOG

    I do not understand the technicality of that. Is the building a nesting doll?

    Calgary | Trail 31 | 13m | 3s | Eagle Crest | FAAS Architecture

    This looks really awful. Nothing homey about it. Living here would make me feel like I was staying at a work camp or industrial site of some kind. Hopefully there is some greenery added to help warm it up. The form is better than the modular building on 6th ave but the material choices are...

    I’m still calling it Glenbow.

    General Construction Updates

    The 5 story mixed use tower by Avalon in Seton is topped out. This is the second phase after the prefab townhomes. I like the triangle windows and general massing. I never noticed an elevator shaft during construction. Is that even possible with code for residential of this height? But they...

    Calgary | Broadway on 17th | 154m | 47s | Vesta | Zeidler

    Really hoping the beige / brown bands on the podium around the glass remain brick. The newest renders are maddeningly ambiguous and could just as well be cheap metal paneling. Really hoping this doesn’t turn out like West Village towers. Not holding my breath until it’s built. I’ve seen one too...

    No random rectangles?

    I am also curious. I notice windows on the main floor don't exactly align with the upper floors. But I don't think the proportions look bad.

    I actually like those examples.

    Calgary | Taza (Tsuut'ina Nation Development) | ?m | ?s | Canderel

    Wow, between this and the Costco next to Fish Creek they really don’t seem to care much about the views. Nothing like a mega Walmart and it’s obligatory ocean of parking right next to the Elbow river to beautify the landscape.

    Calgary Skylines

    Wow! Nice shot!

    Calgary | AHC 6th Ave | 25m | 6s | Attainable Homes Calgary | Hindle Architects

    That literally looks like a prison.

    Calgary | The Kenten | 40m | 9s | Davignon Martin

    That’s crazy they got those backhoes on the roof!

    Calgary | 906 Office Conversion | 80.5m | 22s | Makan Properties | Zeidler

    Massive improvement on the previous turd sandwich!

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Almost glorified bus stops.

    Calgary | Kings by LaCaille | 113m | 35s | LaCaille Group | S2

    Too bad it morphed from this mediocre design into a blue spandrel shit box.

    Calgary | Midfield Heights | 40m | 11s | City of Calgary

    That's nicer than I expected. Hopefully the others are of this caliber or better.
