Kananaskis Village

Alberta, Canada 

Client: Travel Alberta 

With the 1988 Calgary Olympics and increased tourism year-round in its future, Kananaskis Valley needed a master plan to outline a cohesive vision and development path. Design Workshop began this planning effort with a broad environmental analysis of the 51,000-acre site, then determined location and design of a central village. This village core provides accommodations and services for visitors, including four hotels, a conference center, commercial and retail space and many recreational amenities. To ensure Kananaskis lived up to its world- class resort potential, Design Workshop also managed the design process for individual development parcels within the master plan.
