Architecture Rooted in the Land
Sky Ranch brings a new fresh chapter to Cochrane Lakes, embraces rural authenticity with modern design. Inspired by Alberta’s open skies and ranching heritage, its architecture reimagines four unique architectural styles for contemporary family living - Sky Ranch Farmhouse, Sky Ranch Modern, Sky Ranch Prairie, and Lakeside Farmhouse.
Cochrane Lakes Heritage
Long before Cochrane and Rocky View County became known for its mountain views and western charm, it was a hub to several famous brickyards, which began operations in the late 1800s. These brickyards helped build schools, churches, and homes across Alberta.
Sky Ranch will honour the craftsmanship and character of the region’s past brickyards by requiring the use of bricks as integral features within each home adding to the rural charm of Cochrane Lake. Influenced by the rich heritage of western Canada’s farmhouses and the Town of Cochrane’s historic brick yards, the community’s architectural guidelines showcases a spin on modern and conventional farmhouse styling.
