Housing Styles  

Example of single family attached housing  

Our plan proposes that Bridgeland become a precedent setting neighbourhood within the larger community of Calgary. We propose a mix of higher density single- and multi-family housing that acknowledges the need for quality housing close to the city centre.   

Some examples of multifamily housing styles
