The Pillars that Guide Us
Biophilic Design
We believe in the innate human desire to connect with nature, and by integrating it into our built environment, we unlock countless benefits for the mind, body, and soul.
Hedonistic Wellness
We believe the revitalization of our mind, body and spirit should be as healthy as it is satisfying.
Meaningful Experiences
We believe life is more fulfilling when it is filled with rocking chair moments, those ones we never forget and reminisce on for years to come.
Bespoke Sustainability
We believe that the most sustainable products are the ones that are well tailored to our everyday lifestyles.
Evocative Art
We believe art transcends aesthetics by evoking a deeper understanding of the shared human experience.
Nourishing Food
We believe food should be as good for your soul as it is your body.
FOUNDING
SolTerra
In 2008, I founded SolTerra, the company that would later develop and build Cascada, on the belief that buildings could be more impactful if the systems that run them were not only sustainable, but also beautifully integrated into their architecture in a way that encouraged, if not direct interaction, curiosity. Over the next decade, the projects built on this philosophy led to recognition from the United States Green Building Council and opened doors to collaborate with world renowned artists like FinDAC.
Then, in 2017, after nearly a decade of reflection on my successes, and some major failures as well, I was fortunate to partner with an amazing friend who had created a successful wellness company. We started talking about what we could do to go beyond the impact of past projects to create a place that truly is as healthy for humans as our other projects had been for the earth.
INSPIRED TO BUILD
CASCADA
Our inspiration brought us to a project that would serve two primary functions. One, it would be a center of gravity for the community and two, it would be a place where people go not just to be healthy, but most importantly, enjoy the act of investing in their own wellbeing. We call this hedonistic wellness.
Today, you will find hedonistic wellness along with 5 other pillars at the core of Cascada. What you will also find is a place that is built as much for our local community as it is for those who wish to visit. What I have discovered along my journey is that community is more important than anything else. Without community, Cascada would be nothing more than a fleeting thought. So today, I welcome you to come and celebrate wellness in the Alberta Arts District, one of the most vibrant and creative communities in the country, a community my family has called home since my grandma planted her roots here half a century ago.
