Listen to this episode from In Development Podcast on Spotify. Today, David and Melissa Campbell join In Development to discuss their award winning missing middle housing development, T5M Connect.

A group of North Glenora neighbours who collaborated to build multifamily housing in their own backyards have already netted an Urban Design Award and are now looking to repeat their climate-focused success in another mature neighbourhood, just with a smaller footprint.

“Neighbours over NIMBYs” — that’s a sticker we saw on the back of a sign in Edmonton, Alberta, and it gives a hint as to some of the attitudes that make this maybe the most forward-thinking city for housing reform in North America.

The City wants infill, people need housing and climate emissions are soaring. David and Melissa Campbell know these things, so they are building incredibly tasteful green infill, replacing two single-family homes with 16 housing units that are so efficient they require only 10% of the energy of a conventional home to heat.

The Urban Design Awards celebrate the best new projects in Edmonton. Through the program, we recognize individuals, organizations, firms and projects that have contributed to urban design and the city's quality of life.

To recognize excellence in the architectural qualities of an attached new home (custom or production) including overall exterior and interior design, use of building forms and materials, creative use of space, functionality of floor plan and overall appeal to a target market.
