WINNER! CHBA National Awards 2017!

We are SO PROUD of this project, winner of the Canadian National Home Builder's Award for Best Whole-House Reno!
Project Year: 2016
Country: Canada
Many short sets of stairs in this elegant suburban home create discrete spaces throughout the house. Pairing wood treads and bannisters with metal railings brings earth and elemental tones to the entire home.
From the entry, upward
Look at the grain on this wood bannister. It's details like this that make life worth living.
Stairwell detail: wood and chrome
From this vantage we can appreciate the many levels and separate spaces in this elegantly renovated suburban Calgary home.
An elegant multilevel space
View from the stairs to the loft, the refurnished wood ceiling boards guide the eye down the long view.
Bird's eye view
This entertaining area off the dining room, adjacent to the main entry, was done in a restful palette to show off the vaulted ceiling.
Easy livingroom space
In this renovation we used hand-scraped oak flooring with multiple tones to pick up the ceiling wood: an earthy base and space.
Bay window with vaulted ceiling above
Easy access from the enclosed kitchen gives this dining room a solid transitional feel, connecting the elegant open livingroom space to the functionality of the new kitchen area.
Dining in gallant simplicity
This space feels... spacious. Taking full advantage of the vault ceiling, this space was redesigned to highlight the wood boards and long lines throughout the main space.
Height in the dining room
This room is full of singular and deliberate details: the corner windows bring in light from two points; the white walls perfectly set the furniture and ceiling tones in high relief; the disk pendants above the table are long and understated. Pure elegance.
Dining perfection
The "before" and after photos of this kitchen are simply unbelievable. Not going to lie, this is one of our favourite projects ever! This kitchen began as a dark, crowded cave space and has emerged resplendent as a multifunctional and gorgeous space worthy of bragging about. And by the way: this...
This kitchen. WOW.
Before the reno, this smaller kitchen was all wood-toned and the ceiling felt very low. With an enlarged sink window, undermount lighting, in-cabinet illumination, new corner windows in the south-facing dining room and the introduction of a dozen (dim-able) potlights on a combination of switches...
Let the light in
Even with the multiple entries and doorways and stairs of this multilevel masterpiece, the kitchen is now truly the heart (and soul!) of the house.
This enclosed kitchen connects to every part of the house
This custom-designed Calacutta marble tile medallion is an exquisite backsplash focal point at the stove area.
Stove tile medallion
This gorgeous custom tile above the stove provides a gentle focal point to the kitchen tile work.
This gorgeous tile medallion
A blessed work triangle of cooking - fridge - and sink uses the whole space in a new and much more functional way. The many light sources and stainless appliances bounce light throughout the kitchen space.
New... everything. Sparkle in every corner
With standard-height ceilings in this kitchen, we used all the available vertical space. Vastly increasing the storage capacity of the room without sacrificing elegance in design was a homeowner priority here, and we nailed it!
Reflected light, refracted design, all perfection
Note the robust chrome handle hardware and textured tile backsplash. Earth tones in the decor echo the magnificent livingroom ceiling and hand-scraped floors.
It's the little details
Harnessing corner cupboard space is a specialty of ours. Gone are the days of a simply lazy susan to make those corners work for us -- we use easy-glide high quality interior hardware to put every bit of undercounter space at your disposal.
Elegant corner storage
Light, light, everywhere light: pot lights, shining stainless appliances, interior lighting for the upper cabinetry, knockout white paint, and the view-through cutout to the lower family room makes this kitchen glorious.
The long view, through
See the island? It's hiding...
Cabinetry with a surprise
Look again... do you see the island?
The details, the fine tiny things that make life grand
One more time... you're getting it!
A hidden island, in place
Oh, hello!
And the reveal: away she rolls
Walk-out family room with wall fireplace is an easy glance from the kitchen: hey youse, come up here and set the table!
Relaxation below
The fireplace is surrounded by fireboard, which can be painted to look just like the surrounding wall: no lines, no borders.

Cozy, comfortable, deliberate spaces are EVERYTHING in family living.
All the interconnections: multi-level living
