Livingston Homeowners Association

The Livingston Homeowners Association facility is a 32,000 sq.ft. mixed-use community hub paired with four acres of programmed outdoor space, designed to support a wide range of recreational, social, and civic functions. Anchored by a central grand hall, the building brings together amenities including a gymnasium, banquet hall, daycare, coffee shop, meeting rooms, and HOA offices—creating a vibrant, year-round destination for residents.

Community-building is at the core of the project. The site extends beyond the भवन with an ակտիվ landscape that includes a community garden, splash park, skating surface, full-size hockey rink, tennis courts, toboggan hill, and interpretive pathways. Together, these elements create an inclusive environment that fosters connection, activity, and shared experiences for Livingston residents.

Integrated within the facility is a 4,725 sq.ft. fire hall designed to meet Calgary Fire Department standards. The fire station operates independently from the public facility, with dedicated access, egress, and servicing to ensure rapid emergency response without conflict with community uses. Its design draws on precedent research and accommodates future adaptability beyond its current function.

S2’s design resolves the complexity of multiple user groups within a single building through clear planning and thoughtful separation of uses. Distinct entries for the fire hall, daycare, and public zones ensure safety and functionality, while a unifying architectural roof form ties the facility together. The building is organized vertically to preserve outdoor programming space, with careful consideration given to access, life safety, and views—particularly from the upper-level banquet hall overlooking the community landscape.

Phasing was also a key consideration, with the gymnasium and roof structure designed for future expansion without compromising the overall vision. Through extensive stakeholder engagement, S2 delivered a flexible, efficient facility that balances civic infrastructure with meaningful community space.
