Medium-density ground-oriented housing is proposed in three distinct communities along the slope between Lougheed Highway and Still Creek. Stacked townhouses, at a height of three storeys plus basement, open onto the street and back onto lanes and courtyards that feature play space, gardens and patios. The basement would accommodate such important ecological infrastructure as household cisterns (to capture and reuse rainwater) and biological composting units. Note the narrow street width out front. The eighteen metre right-of-way contains the following elements: 10 metres of paved roadway for two-way driving and on-street parking; a 1.5 metre grass verge on either side that accommodates street trees and absorbs runoff; and 1.5 metre sidewalks.

Each ground-oriented townhouse is accessed via the public street. Front porches and small front yard setbacks ensure a continuous social presence on the street and encourage casual contact between neighbours and passers-by. Occasional and visitor parking is located on the street, while residents use garages accessed by rear lanes. A diversity of incomes, age groups, and household types are accomodated  through the use of accessory units above rear garages and secondary suites at the ground-floor level of townhouse units.
