The Victoria on Fifth

Categories: Multi Family Residential

Address: 1124 5th Avenue NW

Year: Calgary

Date Completed: June 23, 2021


Victoria on Fifth, a distinguished multi-residential project nestled in Hillhurst, positions itself with thoughtful design amidst the backdrop of Riley Park. This development seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality, featuring masonry as a primary exterior material—specifically, a captivating combination of Arriscraft Linear Brick in White Pearl with Terracraft’s Caiman Limestone. The choice of masonry not only pays homage to the architectural heritage of Hillhurst and Kensington but also forges a visual connection with neighboring structures, contributing to a cohesive and harmonious streetscape. Beyond aesthetics, the chosen masonry offers inherent advantages, including durability, weather resistance, and thermal mass characteristics that enhances energy efficiency, promoting sustainable living standards for residents. The exterior design effortlessly integrates modern elements with the distinctive masonry combination, characterized by warm, earthy tones that conveys a sense of permanence while fostering a welcoming atmosphere for residents and visitors alike. This deliberate attention to detail in material selection reflects a commitment to quality and design excellence, making Victoria on Fifth a timeless addition to the Hillhurst community.
