Known for our innovative architectural designs and high performance homes, our newest concept is the FAB house – which stands for Future Adaptive Building. We recognize that changes to families and lifestyles are inevitable over time and therefore our houses must adapt to these changes as well. With this in mind, we have re-invented residential design and construction for the 21st century. We have created a system of design that combines a high performance building shell with a flexible and adaptable interior that can change over time, without the need for a costly renovation. FAB houses are assembled almost entirely out of pre-fabricated components, so they can be constructed rapidly but to an exacting quality. Every FAB house is unique and is custom designed to fit the client, the specific lot, the neighbourhood and the budget. All FAB houses are produced with pre-designed and adjustable components so their interior floor plans can be easily altered to accommodate changing needs over time. Our FAB Concept House is located in Calgary, Alberta and is open every weekend to the public for tours and viewings. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Kitchen Remodeling - Home Additions - Kitchen Design - Home Extensions - Bathroom Design - Architectural Design - Architectural Drawings - House Plans - Floor Plans - Laundry Room Design - Site Preparation ### Areas Served - Alberta - British Columbia - Calgary - Edmonton - Saskatchewan ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | housebrand | | Address | 202, 2212 4th St SW, Calgary, Alberta T2S 1W9, Canada | | Phone | (403) 229-4330 | | Website | http://www.housebrand.ca | | Followers on Houzz | 104 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/slowhome - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/slowhome - Blog — http://slowhomestudio.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [housebrand](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/housebrand-pfvwus-pf~1795481918) - **Website:** http://www.housebrand.ca - **Phone:** (403) 229-4330 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Residential Architect Magazine 2009 (Leadership Award) - Prairie Design Award 2002 and 2006 - Best of Houzz 2015 Design Award - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2015–2017), for Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 4 reviews** ### All 4 reviews **★★★★★ — hoffman\_ink, Aug. 2016** > Housebrand designed and built our home in 1997. We've effectively raised our family here the last 19 years - and it's as suitable to us and as much a contemporary design now as it was then. We have enjoyed our home and the benefits of Housebrand's terrific and timeless design all this time. Housebrand also recently designed and built the house next door, and, having lived through a house being built behind ours I can say that it was a rare feat - of zero hassle and remarkable speed. And by all accounts of our new neighbours, successful as well. I would recommend Housebrand to anyone. **★★★★★ — christinec11, June 2016** > Working with Housebrand on my new modern house was a great experience. They are excellent listeners who translated what I wanted into a beautiful custom house with great flow. Their considerable experience as architects, designers and builders helped to create a light filled house with well scaled rooms and quality finishes. Every room has built in cabinetry for lots of storage streamlined into the design. The master bedroom has a tranquil ensuite and separate yoga space. If you are planning to build a modern home I recommend considering Housebrand. **★★★★★ — Diana Grainger, June 2016** > Housebrand did an excellent job of designing and building our new inner city home. Throughout the process they were professional and well informed. Our house was built in a timely manner, with great attention to detail. We were most impressed by their continued commitment to quality after we moved in. > We would highly recommend housebrand and would use them in the future again if they hadn't already built us our dream home! **★★★★★ — annavm55, June 2016** > We decided to design and build with housebrand because they had the best communication skills amongst all the builders and architects we interviewed in our research phase. And that stayed true throughout our project. They were very accommodating with the most outrageous questions we had as well as the smallest inquiries, which made all the difference for us. We felt like there was total transparency through the whole project. > > We wanted a house that would evolve as our family evolved and housebrand completely understood this. We intend on staying in our house for a long time so quality and design that would transcend trends were very important to us. We knew we were going to get an incredible product, and we are thrilled with the results. > > The whole process from design to build was faster than any other builder we know operating in the city, yet they were speedy without compromising on quality. Our site was very challenging to build on and they were very good at communicating issues that arose. We had complete confidence in their problem solving skills and the way things resolved actually made for a better product for us in the end. > > Ultimately, they are exceptionally good at, and very smart about what they do. We would build another house with them in a heartbeat if we could, and can’t recommend them highly enough. ## Selected projects - [Mount Royal House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mount-royal-house-pj-vj~1761757) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 5 - [FAB Concept House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fab-concept-house-pj-vj~1761748) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 15 - [Elbow Park House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elbow-park-house-pj-vj~1761742) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 11 - [Cliff Bungalow House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cliff-bungalow-house-pj-vj~1761739) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 8 - [Wildwood House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wildwood-house-pj-vj~1761761) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 7 - [Lakeview House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeview-house-pj-vj~1761755) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 9 - [Crescent Heights Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crescent-heights-residence-pj-vj~274724) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 18 - [Altadore Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/altadore-residence-pj-vj~179885) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 34 - Description: This modestly priced 2200 sqft LEED Silver house is for a family of four and located in a transitional community close to downtown. The clients wanted to continue the neighborhood tradition of front porch/yard living. We combined this desire with our interest in improving the passive solar capacity for an east-west lot (poor orientation for a cold climate). The resulting L-shaped plan creates a large south-facing terrace that fronts the street. The resulting increase in side-yard setback allows… - [Hillhurst Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillhurst-residence-pj-vj~275760) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 12 - Description: This new 2200 sq ft house is located in an older neighborhood adjacent to downtown. It is the second project completed for this young couple, the first being a renovation to an older two storey home five years previous. After starting a family, they contacted us to build a new home in the same neighborhood. The property has no rear lane and needed to incorporate a double attached front drive garage. The stair is located at the front of the house and the kitchen is situated at the end of the gara… - [Jerome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jerome-pj-vj~278459) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 24 - Description: The owner of a successful hair salon wanted to pursue his dream of “living above the shop.” He purchased a small corner lot (80ftx100ft) in a very transitional downtown neighborhood. City bylaws required enclosed parking but the site was too small to allow a ramp and underground garage. As a result the main floor is dominated by parking, leaving only a strip of aesthetics studio/salon reception off the commercial street and a residential lobby off the side street. A double-entry elevator provide… [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/housebrand-pfvwus-pf~1795481918) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the lights over the dining table** *(in Photo Questions)* Please share with us the type and source of the lights thanks !
