Switch bloc, Calgary, Alberta
Architecture: Modern Office of Design + Architecture

photo : Robert Lemermeyer Photography
The site for Switch/bloc is a typical inner-city lot with an active streetscape. However, unlike most inner-city lots, the site does not have a rear lane, which typically helps to add a ‘buffer zone’ between the new development and the adjacent community. The knee-jerk response for this site, and many others like it, would be a ubiquitous 4-storey, double-loaded corridor, multi-residential housing project.
