WH11 Townhomes reimagines a tight urban lot in West Hillhurst as a compact, mixed-use enclave that fuses “missing-middle” rental housing with neighbourhood-scale retail. Conceived as stacked townhouses wrapped around an activated pedestrian mews, the scheme delivers a spectrum of daylight-filled suites—from family-sized three-bedroom homes to efficient one-bedroom walk-outs—each with balconies or patios that spill life onto the street and lane. Dual frontages invite movement through the block, while ground-floor shops animate the sidewalk, knitting the project into Calgary’s evolving 19 Street corridor. Sensitive massing steps down to respect adjacent homes, proving that thoughtful density can both preserve and enrich community character. In doing so, WH11 answers the city’s call for inclusive, attainable housing and sets a template for humane infill as Calgary embraces its newly rezoned future.
