I mean the non-podium design is umm plain but that SW corner of the podium is kind of cool.

Is this below market housing?

Edit: Also just realized that Crown Outdoor and Tactical has a active land use application.

I love the look of the curves and brick, but I don't know about living above a fire station. I guess it's not so different from being next door to one?

As a bonus, no worries if a fire breaks out in the building!

There's two residential buildings on top of fire stations in the downtown core, plus the Delta Hotel. They'll be fine.

cold garden says yes please

That design is fire.

That design is fire.

I can tell it took a lot of restraint to not cover those white walls with random rectangles

 

[Mountain Man]

Hope they have some really good soundproofing in the walls and floors!

I suspect the fire trucks probably wouldn't be turning on their siren's as they pull out of the building. Personally I've noticed firetrucks seems to avoid using their siren's unless they need to.

I love the design. It'll probably help gentrify Cold Garden, but I can live with that in order to see this get built.

Any idea if it's still RNDSQR?

Probably not a bad idea - although I really doubt a fire station would be any louder than the CP Rail mainline + too permanently popular giant patio breweries a few dozen metres away.

Overall - great design. Simple, clean, attention to details on the ground floor, and big density in about as good of a spot for it that exists. Inglewood is so sparse, the ~200 units here represent about 10% growth of the existing housing stock for the entire neighbourhood. Bring it on.

Also loving the art pieces on the bottoms of all the balconies. Unique at least for Calgary. Also really dope that it includes retail on 12 Street and 11 Ave.

I hope this is true to the renderings. I love the little detail of black and white patterns under each balcony. A nice touch!

I’m trying to decide if there are any nods to the old fire hall where the Hose and Hound is. If so, they are fairly subtle (aside from maybe the red brick and arched doorways). Would have been cool to incorporate some more design elements from the old fire hall.

Sorry to spam this but comments on the Crown Outdoor and Tactical closes today:

Here's what they're proposing: residential and street-oriented w/ commercial use, increase from 6 to 12 stories, and tripling the floor area
