LANEWAY HOMES

Canada’s population is aging, presenting new obstacles for the housing market. How can the government best assist seniors, while still allowing seniors the agency of living in their own personal space? The University of Calgary’s Faculty of Environmental Design (now the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape) wanted to try to address this new challenge by creating a Laneway home with the latest technology. Laneway homes typically reside as a guest house or detached home on the property of another building.

The university approached VizworX to help develop a system to help monitor and display data generated by the Age-In-Place Laneway Home Project while still maintaining a level of privacy.
