The Space We Create - Banff
The Space We Create is a 35-minute documentary about the making of the Aster, a community-driven housing project in Banff, Alberta. Told through the voices of designers, builders, residents, and local leaders the film explores what it means to build with care in a place where housing is scarce, land is protected, and the stakes are personal.
Through labour shortages, frayed supply chains, lockdowns, and a few long winters, it documents the creative decisions, physical work, and emotional investment that brought the project to life. From salvaging a century-old cabin to shaping a courtyard inspired by forest trails, this is a story about finding balance between beauty and necessity, and about the people who make meaningful housing possible.
