When we first met these homeowners, their goal was clear: they wanted to create a kitchen that felt truly personal and custom. Their home originally had builder-grade cabinetry, which was functional enough, but not the type of space they envisioned for raising their family and entertaining over the years to come. They planned to be in this home long-term, so it was important that the kitchen reflected their own character and style.

This Calgary home has evolved through three separate renovation projects completed over fourteen years. Sandrin Construction first renovated the second-floor bathrooms in 2011, returned for a main-floor renovation in 2019, and completed the basement renovation in 2025. The work spans bathrooms, kitchen and living spaces, custom millwork, stairs and circulation, and a basement developed around a family room, home gym and bathroom. Each phase responded to a different stage in the clients' use of the house while building on work completed in earlier years. The result is not a single whole-home renovation, but a long-term series of interventions that allowed the existing home to evolve with its owners over time.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel
