Impact
Families experiencing homelessness can stay in shelter with dignity in a trauma-informed, thoughtfully designed space. Completed on time and on budget, the Neoma project has received multiple national awards for both its facility and its integrated art program, setting a new standard for supportive housing in Calgary.
Larkspur coordinated the design and construction of Inn from the Cold’s new downtown facility within the Neoma building, owned by HomeSpace. Our role included supporting funding applications, negotiating a long-term lease with HomeSpace, and delivering the project through a construction management approach. The facility provides 80 affordable housing units, 10 transitional housing units, 10 emergency shelter units, and dedicated community and administrative space for IFTC.
In parallel, Larkspur developed an art masterplan for the facility, working with eight artists to create unique commissions for children’s spaces, the dining hall, and wayfinding elements — transforming the environment into a more welcoming and healing space for families in crisis.
