Residing in Calgary's Elbow Park sits this stunning Craftsman home. A stunning covered outdoor sitting area is anchored by a gas fireplace and is flanked by the sound of the cascading water feature.The dining area is simple yet elegant and provides a destination to retreat to across the backyard. The front yard was designed to incorporate the existing trees and charming architecture of the house.

A corroded pipe in the 2nd floor bathroom was the original prompt to begin extensive updates on this 109 year old heritage home in Elbow Park. This craftsman home was build in 1912 and consisted of scattered design ideas that lacked continuity. In order to steward the original character and design of this home while creating effective new layouts, we found ourselves faced with extensive challenges including electrical upgrades, flooring height differences, and wall changes. This home now features a timeless kitchen, site finished oak hardwood through out, 2 updated bathrooms, and a staircase relocation to improve traffic flow. The opportunity to repurpose exterior brick that was salvaged during a 1960 addition to the home provided charming new backsplash in the kitchen and walk in pantry.

My client contacted me to update the kitchen and main bathroom of her 1912 home in Calgary, located in Elbow Park - one of the oldest communities in the city. The previous owners had done an addition on the back of the house and installed a kitchen that looked more suitable for a 1980’s garage than a home built in 1912. The challenge was to update the look and incorporate modern elements, yet retain the feel and character of a home from that era. Timeless details were added like marble quartz countertops, Shaker style cabinets and a much more symmetrical layout that positioned the sink under the window, instead of the opposite wall. The 9’-0” ceilings allowed us to design the cabinets to the full ceiling height, giving the home owner much needed storage space. Even though the space has been modernized, it beautifully flows from the living spaces and no longer looks like an after thought, like the previous kitchen did.

In one word: Exquisite. A landscape built into the natural banks of Calgary's Elbow river. A stunning slot overflow infinity pool surrounded by an expansive heated stone patio allow the clients to swim year round. The custom stainless steel outdoor kitchen with indirect lighting, copper tile, a bar fridge, grill and smoker ensures guests and family alike will enjoy many long days in this stunning yard with every possible amenity within arms reach. The custom fire pit sourced internationally removes the chill from our cool evenings in the shoulder season. Photo Credit: Jamen Rhodes

We renovated this Elbow Residence in 2021. A simple yet timeless farmhouse design that will allow our clients to entertain. We used light wood and white finishes to create a light and bright space. Check out the herringbone subway tile on the kitchen backsplash and the fun floor tile in the master bathroom.

RCID was thrilled to take on the role of project manager for this Elbow Valley Redecorating Project—a collaboration that celebrated creativity, trust, and personalization. This project was a joy from start to finish, as our clients allowed us the creative freedom to reimagine their spaces with fresh color, texture, and form. Each room was thoughtfully designed to feel cohesive yet uniquely personal. The result is a home that feels refreshed, balanced, and brimming with character. Projects like this remind us why we love what we do—collaborating with wonderful clients to turn their homes into spaces that truly reflect who they are.

We sandblasted and painted an engraved address rock and lit it with landscape lighting for great curb appeal. Beautiful planting keeps in theme with the Elbow Valley setting.
