Gateway Grill: Where Gathering Comes Naturally At the heart of the development sits the Gateway Grill, where architecture and atmosphere work together to create a welcoming social hub. Modeled after the textures, tones, and traditions of Canmore’s natural and cultural landscape, the design encourages year-round gathering—from sunlit afternoons on the rooftop patio to cozy evenings framed by mountain silhouettes. . . . @threesistersmountainvillage @quantumplacedevelopments #mountaindesign #makingtomorrowbetterthantoday #modernarchitecture

A Streetscape Rooted in Place The Gateway’s streetscape draws inspiration from Canmore’s historical, local, and contextual narratives. Using forms and materials reminiscent of early alpine and mining architecture, Phase 1 brings together shops, retail, office spaces, and residential living in a cohesive expression of local identity. Every detail supports the project’s overarching goal: to create a destination that belongs authentically to its setting. . . . @threesistersmountainvillage @quantumplacedevelopments #makingtomorrowbetterthantoday #mountaindesign

A Four-Season Mountain Community Hub Designed for year-round life in the Rockies, The Gateway brings warmth, resilience, and character to winter in the Bow Valley. Snow-covered roofs, generous glazing, and animated ground-floor retail create a welcoming, four-season atmosphere that supports multi-modal movement and community gathering—even on the coldest days. This is mountain living elevated. . . . @threesistersmountainvillage @quantumplacedevelopments #makingtomorrowbetterthantoday #mountaindesign

A bold new entrance for a Banff original. Rooted in its 1960s modernist past, the refreshed façade blends stone, wood, and playful brand elements to welcome guests into a reinvented hotel experience. The MOXY spirit—fun, youthful, and a little cheeky—starts right at the front door. . . . @canaltahotels #makingtomorrowbetterthantoday #moxyhotels #designtransformation
