The Brentwood Design Charrette

The following drawings show the conceptual evolution of Team One’s proposal.

Houses
Narrower, more frequent blocks provide the structure around which approximately 12,000 new residential units are proposed. High-density housing is integrated with commercial uses along significant commercial and transit corridors, and ground-oriented medium-density housing is proposed for interior neighbourhood streets.

Green Space
structure goes hand in hand with the residential structure. The interiors of blocks provide a continuous ecological thread that ties into the larger Still Creek open-space system.

Commerce
Supporting the residential framework is a proposed 300,000 square feet of office space. Concentrations of retail and commercial activity occur along the primary north-south routes and reach their greatest density along Lougheed Highway.

Public
Civic uses in the form of a town hall, library, community centre, and fire hall, are integrated with an open-space structure and are proposed at the northeast corner of the Willingdon Avenue/Lougheed Highway intersection. Neighbourhood schools are proposed to the south.
