Calgary, AB – 2009

The Huntington Hills Superstore, is a Loblaw project located in Calgary’s Northwest.  It is a commercial infill project that included the development of a new grocery store, gas bar, liquor store and separate commercial retail space (CRU’s).  The use of bio swales, paving patterns, xeriscaping and pedestrian connections create an aesthetically pleasing and functional commercial space within an established community. In addition to the main commercial area landscape treatments, a small seating area and plaza space was created to provide a seasonal outdoor amenity for the separate CRU’s.  The design of the plaza considered pedestrian traffic and sun/ shade patterns to maximize use by tenants and guests.

Yellowknife, NWT – 2010

Since its revitalization, the City of Yellowknife describes Somba K’e Civic Plaza as a “tremendous success attracting citizens to the new space.” With feedback from the community, Lombard North Group and the design team headed by Nadji Architects developed a long-term phasing plan including a plaza, an open space for gathering, an amphitheatre and waterfront access suitable for all season use.  The design for the site incorporated influences from the northern vernacular to create active and passive programmable event spaces, access to the lakefront, historical references, locations for the display of public art and cultural ceremonies.  The isolated northern locale, limited material suppliers and permafrost are just a few of the challenges that the design team encountered and resolved through the design process for this space.  This unique multi-use civic plaza serves as the host location for numerous festivals and is now viewed as the premier urban plaza in the Northwest Territories.
