Canada Safeway Foundation Building - Ravens Perch

The design started with thinking about the kids and a child's sense of playfulness and discovery. That idea lead the design team to the slated window wall design. The slated window walls allow for natural light to shine through the building and offers children panoramic views of waterfront and into the treetops while participating in programs indoors.

Built from sustainable materials and blending with the natural environment, the building leaves a very minimal footprint and uses very little power to operate. 

On August 12, 2010, Canada Safeway Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary named the new building "Ravens Perch."
