Urban Social is organized and divided to provide spaces for lounge, casual dining and individual work and study. As well as zones for a large communal kitchen for staff and volunteers, a conveience corner, and a private entrance for the residents living above in Homi Apartments.

Entry to this space is through the staircase or elevator directly from the lobby downstairs. The stair are closed in using a 1 hr fire rated wall and door to ensure the space is safe and follows the protocols of the National Fire Code in Alberta.

From the entrance, users are directly trensported to the central hub where community amenities are positioned. The largest space is reserved for the community kitchen and lounge space. Open to each other, these spaces flow well and provide great opportunities for social interaction. Such a space is also ideal for events including game nights, community dinners, and even hosted events such as community cooking classes to encourage residents to learn more about the skills they will obtain as a new independent.

Behind the open space, residents then have access to a laundry facility with plenty of space to make sure your weekly laundry needs are met.

Surrounding it all are 9 units including a Barrier Free corner unit. Each space sits along the exterior of the building and is promised to have large windows that look out into the city and surrounding areas. Surrouding the central community hub, the aparments create their own community circle that encourages residents to walk around and enjoy as their own home.
