Unity Square has been designed by award winning Architects, Engineers and Designers in collaboration with Dr. Avi Friedman. Applying “best-of” urban design practices, Design for Happiness created Unity Square as a community that is focused on people, and the connection to their surroundings. This meant that we made a conscious effort to minimize the impact of cars on the overall site plan and home designs. The result is fewer interior roads providing more green space for residents to enjoy. Your front door isn’t hidden behind your garage, creating more attractive streetscapes. It also resulted in homes designed to hide cars from the street with driveways located below patios and garages integrated into the home.
The Townhomes of Unity Square only uses 14% of developable land for roads and parking, compared to 36% for many typical developments.
Ease of access to green space for residents was a critical design feature during the urban planning process of Unity Square. How much easier can it be to have green space literally steps away from your front door. Take a short walk to clear your mind, sit on a grassy play mound and read a book, or practice your green thumb in a small urban garden plot. These green spaces will enhance your overall living experience by connecting you to the environment and surrounding community.
Continuous walking paths
Community agriculture
Activity areas and play mounds
Indigenous species planting
Emphasizing a people-centered approach to design choices has had the additional positive impact of creating a community that is not only more livable, but also better for the environment. Creating larger green spaces (instead of interior roads, parking lots and sidewalks) allowed Design
For Happiness to utilize Low Impact Development (LID) techniques for managing rainwater runoff. The green spaces and subsurface stormwater systems mimic the natural process of infiltration ultimately protecting the quality of water before returning to local aquatic habitat. This makes Unity Square not only more resilient, but also one of the largest residential LID
developments in Canada, something we are extremely proud of.
Health & wellbeing is a big part of designing a community focused on people. Both the location of Unity Square and smart design choices support residents in achieving a healthier lifestyle. Here are some of the ways Unity Square supports your Health & Wellbeing.

The health benefits of natural daylight in your home will have a positive impact on your life. That’s why the Townhomes of Unity Square have been designed to allow natural daylight to flood through your entire home. Full height, true floor to ceiling windows along with open space living floor plans allow natural daylight to access most of your entire home.
Benefits of exposure to natural daylight includes:
- Increased absorption of Vitamin D.
- Increased focus, concentration and alertness.
- Healthier sleeping habits.
- Better overall attitude, and productivity.
The Townhomes of Unity Square has been designed to promote human
interaction whether it’s simply waving to a neighbour from your front patio,
having coffee with a friend in one of the attractive on site Parks, or sharing
a meal together outside. We’ve worked hard to keep obstructions, such as
garages and high fences away from the front of the townhomes, the result
is an active street front that increases the likelihood of social interaction
while having the benefits of “eyes on the street security”.
The surrounding area of Komoka has a rich heritage rooted in agriculture.
Visiting the Komoka Community Market let’s you participate in this rich
heritage. Meet neighbours, farmers, and folks visiting from out of town.
This open-air market is just one of many opportunities you will have to
connect with neighbours and friends. Not only is it a great social event
you will look forward to, it also allows you to purchase
healthy, fresh local food.
