This international competition aims to redesign a 3000m2 site in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, which features many of the city's emerging historical, cultural and community assets.

The competition programme includes sustainable social housing with 100 apartments, including 30 studios, 45 one-bedroom apartments and 35 two-bedroom apartments, a cultural centre, as well as common facilities and services. The building must have a net zero energy consumption and a carbon neutral footprint, as well as an energy management system that meets the LEED Platinum level.
