STREET LEVEL BEAUTY by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Planning the amenities, assembling the builder group – these are all essential in carrying out the vision for a community and developing the land into a home that people will want to call home. But that vision begins with determining how the community will look like, and this is where sculpting the streetscape comes in. Key in determining how the community’s streets will appear are the architectural controls that developers use to determine the lasting look of the community, creating individual homes that bring a cohesive look throughout. No one house feels out of place, but each home can still be unique and personalized for the homeowner. Experts say having these architectural controls also help protect and enhance property values of the community. Having these guidelines in a community
ensures that there is a cohesive look throughout the neighbourhood, without being repetitive or looking cookie cutter. We spoke to a couple of awardwinning Calgary community developers who have some experience in bringing about notable streetscapes worth checking out.
