2009 Edmonton Urban Design Award of Merit!

November 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

For us!  For our Alberta Avenue facade improvement project!  While our time on stage was a bit of a blur, I did hear that a jury comment was that the design is “cool”.  We’ll take that.  Our thanks to the building owner for trusting our ideas, our contractor Global Construction for executing the design so well and our photographer Jim Dobie for his genius.

ice flows

November 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The ice has started forming on the river….late again this year.  The river is so beautiful at this time of year – it changes from its usual muddy brown to a clear green/blue.  My walk to work through Louise McKinney Park is spectacular.

Global TV was broadcasting live from Alberta Avenue last week and our renovated building was featured as a backdrop to its tenant, Bedouin Beats.  Go to minute 1:15 in this video to see (you’ll have to wait through an advertisement first) …  http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/video/index.html?releasePID=ztu4nxg0GSMCE17cG1O_AQBJmX2TKJbd We’re thrilled to be contributing to the revitalization of the Ave!
