2010 – Centre Village, 545-589 Balmoral Street, Winnipeg, Canada

Designed to serve underprivileged families, Winnipeg’s Centre Village housing cooperative was intended to help revitalize a neglected inner-city neighbourhood and to provide its residents with a unique setting that inspires pride and encouraged. A micro village of 25 dwellings within six, three-storey blocks built around a through-street and a shared courtyard. Never a success despite winning architectural acclaim, the property was vacant for several years after it was fenced off in January of 2022. Demolished in 2025.
