Due to the global pandemic and the stagnant oil industry, there have been dramatic changes in the way that the economy of Calgary functions. We can use these dramatic changes as points of leverage for addressing the systemic inequities embedded in the traditional lived employee experience that includes inequities in time, space and access to services as well as the emerging inequities in remote work.
This is the perfect moment to expand the way we define city living.
The Locale
Love where you live
Working from home can have benefits if there is a support system in place for those who would benefit from a WFH set up, particularly-lone parent families.
How the spaces in people’s lives are typically divided vs. how The Locale creates space
Time, energy and health. These are the things The Locale looks to maximize.
The built environment is designed to accommodate a certain demographic which represents only about that third of the reality of the variety that is out there.
The Locale is designed to be flexible.
The Locale features a shared space which provides the access to the units, and functions as an interior communal balcony.
Here daily activities are shared among neighbours, enlarging the area of the every unit and transforming circulation into a space where residents can actually get to know their neighbours.
If you had a smaller unit but could access communal dinning areas, lounges working spaces and much more…
would you pick that over your where you live now?
