Shaganappi Multi

Shaganappi Multi is a 99-home project with high visibility from Bow Trail SW, close proximity to Shaganappi Point LRT Station, and views to the Shaganappi Point Golf Course. The building form is configured as a ‘C’ to fill the site and maximize the number of units along the perimeter of a double-loaded corridor. Its two colours of metal cladding define the overall mass of the building, while warmer wood tones respond to human-scaled balconies and entries.

Unit identity, facade articulation, and balcony privacy are achieved through a pixelated three-dimensional composition integral to the architectural massing. This hyperarticulation responds to privacy adjacencies; smaller balconies with less glazing are located higher and positioned to reduce overlook into neighbours’ yards. This articulation also facilitates porosity around building edges to enhance visibility on a corner site. Oversized balconies span the width of entire unit faces to convey porosity and reduce the perception of the building’s six-storey visual mass and roofline. Outdoor amenity spaces and landscaping are situated to provide enjoyment for the residents while also acting as a buffer to adjacent residences.

The building is both stepped down and set back on the south elevation with respect to the adjacent lower density development, whereas the site is fully massed up on the north elevation facing Bow Trail.

Site Diagrams

These diagrams illustrate the buildable extents of the site based on setbacks, height limit, and adjacent context or land use districts. Landscaped areas, building access points, and balcony articulation are identified on the building massing and informed by contextual site forces. The adjacent five-storey apartment building is shown for scale comparison.
