Telus Sky

Calgary House, originally known as Telus Sky, is a sixty-story high-rise complex in downtown Calgary that was completed in 2019. At more than 220 meters (720 ft) tall, it is among the tallest buildings in the city and houses a mix of office space, residences, and retail. The architecture, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and Dialog, is defined by a clear geometric design language. While the lower levels are shaped as a rectangular base for open-plan offices, the floor plates taper as they rise and break up into pixel-like structures that create small balconies and terraces. These design elements give the tower a dynamic silhouette that stands out from the surrounding buildings.

A special highlight for visitors is the public art installation "Northern Lights" on the north and south facades. Conceived by Canadian artist Douglas Coupland, this LED display is considered one of the largest public artworks in Canada. Every hour, the light strips run through sequences lasting several minutes that show different color combinations and patterns, always beginning with a recreation of the aurora borealis. An interactive smartphone app provides background information on the inspirations behind each display. The building also aims for high environmental standards and is pursuing LEED Platinum certification for its office and art areas, making it one of the most environmentally friendly high-rises of its size in Canada.
