City of Regina hopes to draw ‘fresh eyes’ with housing design contest

The best infill housing, says Regina planner Bill Neher, is the kind you hardly notice — a new home that feels like it’s always been part of the block. That’s the inspiration behind the City of Regina’s Finding Middle Ground design competition, which challenges architects and dreamers alike to rethink “missing middle” housing — duplexes, townhomes, and small apartments that fit naturally into older neighborhoods. The goal: to blend creativity with character, adding density without disrupting the spirit of the streets residents already love.
