The original spark was from esteemed Landscape Architect John R. Conte, known for designing with the land, rather than over it. The architecture wraps around and disappears into the hillside, while a green roof and ivy cladding visually absorb the structure into the slope. At the heart of the design are NanaWall single track stacking and sliding glass doors, engineered to mirror the sinuous organic form of the building while providing a fully retractable indoor-outdoor connection. The stacking and sliding glass doors follow the topography’s curve, opening the cabana fully to the lush landscape and disappearing into remote storage closets when not in use. The client had long envisioned a pool house, but the property was already beyond its Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Conte, known for his problem-solving rooted in nature, identified a clever solution: embed the structure into the hillside far enough to stay within FAR limits. It made the entire project possible.

During the planning phase we undertook a fairly major Value Engineering of the design to ensure that the project would be completed within the clients budget. The client identified a ‘Fords Garage’ style that they wanted to incorporate. They wanted an open, industrial feel, however, we wanted to ensure that the property felt more like a welcoming, home environment; not a commercial space. A Fords Garage typically has exposed beams, ductwork, lighting, conduits, etc. But this extent of an Industrial style is not ‘homely’. So we incorporated tongue and groove ceilings with beams, concrete colored tiled floors, and industrial style lighting fixtures.
During construction the client designed the courtyard, which involved a large permit revision and we went through the full planning process to add that scope of work.
The finished project is a gorgeous blend of industrial and contemporary home style.

It's all about you! Your dreams, your site, your budget…. that's our inspiration! It is all about creating a home that is a true reflection of you and your unique lifestyle. Every project has it's challenges, but underneath the real-life concerns of budget and bylaws lie opportunities to delight. At Kallweit Graham Architecture, it is these opportunities that we seek to discover for each and every project.
The key to good design is not an unlimited budget, nor following trends. Rather, it takes the limitations of a project and, through thoughtful design, brings out its uniqueness, and enhances the property and it's value.
Building new or renovating an existing home is exciting! We also understand that it can be an emotional undertaking and sometimes overwhelming. For over two decades we have helped hundreds of clients "find their way" through the building maze. We are careful listeners, helping people to identify and prioritize their needs. If you have questions like what is possible? what will it look like? and how much will it cost? our trademarked RenoReport can help… see our website for details www.kga.ca.

The ultra low iron glass was laser etched in full HD with a simple and elegant twig pattern. Post laser etching each panel was tempered and re polished. The property's address was also etched into the glass to better identify the house in a completely unique way.
