Calgary, Canada

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2019
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
Fronting Calgary’s new RiverWalk, between the historic Simmons Mattress Factory and the new pedestrian bridge to St. Patrick’s Island, our M2 Mixed Use Building’s oddly shaped lot presents different conditions on each side and no backside. An addition to Calgary’s skyline, and despite its small size, M2 has an outsized impact on Calgary’s public life.
To achieve compliance with strict requirements that limit shadow encroachment on the RiverWalk, the building’s north facade hinges back at each level. The cascading sequence of roof terraces for each tenant effectively extends the public domain of the promenade up and through our project. Along with large curtain wall windows, these terraces provide expansive views to the river, while the large windows on the South provide views back to the city and maximize daylighting in the open interior spaces.
The building’s connections to the street and activation of public space offer a vibrant focal point for pedestrian activity. Completed in 2019, the restaurant and retail animate the growing urban life of Calgary.
