**★★★★★ — HU-331915698, Aug. 2019**

> Shane isn’t just a snappy dresser, he backs it up with an amazing company of professionals who make renovating your home a breeze. Shane, Christine, Tim and Kirk handled our renovation in a professional manner. They were a pleasure to have working in our home. We would recommend them to anyone looking to do a renovation in Calgary.

**★★★★★ — Lucy Aburto, Jan. 2019**

> Rectangle custom built our home in 2015 and did an amazing job. Shane and Christine were excellent people to work with. They are very passionate about their business. 3 years later I still would not change anything about our home or the building experience.

**★★★★★ — Dawn Emes, Jan. 2019**

> Rectangle did a great job on our full home renovation.  They understood our vision and worked closely with us to realize our dream, on budget and on schedule.  I would recommend them to anyone with an interest in modern design and a clean look.

**★★★★★ — Dan Alexander, Jan. 2019**

> "Great builder who truly cares about the work they do and their clients. They go the extra mile to make sure that you really will love your home"

**★★★★★ — Kjelti Kellough, Jan. 2019**

> Rectangle did a fabulous job.  We did a 3 floor, down-to-the-studs renovation of our 1990s infill.  Rectangle helped reorient our main floor to make it a better use of space – focusing on where we spend our time (the kitchen!) and giving the overall look and feel of all three floors an update.  They had creative solutions, listened to our preferences and helped to create an effective and efficient design.  Rectangle came in on budget and on time.  Any issues that we had during the process were managed through direct and fair communication.  We were happy with the quality of the work and really love the end result.

**★★★★★ — beanoro, Aug. 2016**

> We hired Shane and Christine to tackle the re-design of our home in Calgary.
> They were very respectful of our ideas and melded them together with a great design sense from their side.
> Due to my line of work Rectangle did handle our build but we couldn't be happier with the up front sevices.

  - Location: Calgary, AB

  - Description: In this contemporary full-scale renovation - the layout was opened up by the removal of walls, supporting free flow movement throughout the main floor. The integration of an open floor plan allowed for natural light to enter every nook of the homeowner's space. Using a monochromatic colour palette with the interior finishes added a level on continuity to the overall design. But allowed for the homeowners to add their own personal style and individuality through furniture and art selections. Hard…

  - Description: Sleek and Sophisticated In this full house renovation, the addition of vaulted ceilings add volume to the space allowing for stacked glazing to let in as much natural light as possible. Continuity was achieved by using the same wood type for the floors, stair treads, and detailing throughout the home. The main architectural feature is undoubtedly the two-story staircase. The floating wood treads and glass railings transform a typically heavy staircase into a light, eye-catching feature that allo…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Chandelier Height** *(in Photo Questions)*

For a two-story room such as this, how high should one hang the light fixture? Thank you!

A: For a double height ceiling, it is best to keep the fixture height around the second floor level.

**Q: beautiful room.  where can I purchase chandelier?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is a Moooi pendant, local retailers are listed on their website: http://www.moooi.com/contact

**Q: White board** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi
Love the exterior! Is the white board hardie panel artic white smooth?  How is it connected? Is there eztrim? Or is it butt jointed? Tongue and groove?

A: Thanks!  This is actually stucco, not Hardie board.  We had the contractors place grooves in the stucco at equally-spaced intervals down this section to achieve the effect.

**Q: What's the paint color used for the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks

A: The walls are simply an untinted white.

**Q: What is the wall and trim color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Wall and trim color

A: It is the Prestige Dry Stack manufactured stone from Dutch Quality - http://www.dutchqualitystone.com/category/products/dry-stack/

**Q: Is this an added framework around the stone cladding, please ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi I am wondering if you have created a framework to box in the stone cladding( to hide edges of the cladding) , or was there already a recessed wall ??? I want to find some type of molding to add to a flat wall to get this effect ??? Just wondering if this is how you achieved this fantastic look :)

A: The stone fireplace wall is set back 6" from the face of the side walls, which are just finished with drywall, to achieve a clean, finished look.
