Alison Brooks Architects Shortlisted for ‘200-Block Banff Avenue Redevelopment’ Architectural Competition

Alison Brooks Architects, in collaboration with Kumlin Sullivan Architecture, has been shortlisted along with five other international teams from an open call to design a new Visitor Centre, Mobility Hub and Residential Cluster.

This ambitious project aims to create world-class visitor facilities and open spaces for both residents and visitors, preserve important heritage buildings and address the town’s housing needs. Located at the heart of the Town of Banff – gateway to the Canadian Rocky Mountains UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s first national park, Banff Park Museum National Historic Site in Alberta – which is renowned for its dramatic mountain landscapes, pristine waterways, wildlife and historic townscape, Banff National Park attracts over four million visitors annually.

Organised by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and supported by Parks Canada, the competition seeks exemplary net-zero-carbon and environmentally sustainable design proposals that demonstrate design excellence, heritage conservation and adaptability.

Alison Brooks Architects is excited to enter the next phase of the competition with collaborators Kumlin Sullivan Architecture, Townshend Landscape Architects, The TULA Project, Âsokan Generational Developments and Arup. Phase II of the competition concludes in December 2025, followed by public engagement and jury deliberation.
