Saikley ArchitectsWe updated this 1907 two-story family home for re-sale. We added modern design elements and amenities while retaining the home’s original charm in the layout and key details. The aim was to optimize the value of the property for a prospective buyer, within a reasonable budget.
New French doors from kitchen and a rear bedroom open out to a new bi-level deck that allows good sight lines, functional outdoor living space, and easy access to a garden full of mature fruit trees. French doors from an upstairs bedroom open out to a private high deck overlooking the garden. The garage has been converted to a family room that opens to the garden.
The bathrooms and kitchen were remodeled the kitchen with simple, light, classic materials and contemporary lighting fixtures. New windows and skylights flood the spaces with light. Stained wood windows and doors at the kitchen pick up on the original stained wood of the other living spaces.
New redwood picture molding was created for the living room where traces in the plaster suggested that picture molding has originally been. A sweet corner window seat at the living room was restored. At a downstairs bedroom we created a new plate rail and other redwood trim matching the original at the dining room. The original dining room hutch and woodwork were restored and a new mantel built for the fireplace.
We built deep shelves into space carved out of the attic next to upstairs bedrooms and added other built-ins for character and usefulness. Storage was created in nooks throughout the house. A small room off the kitchen was set up for efficient laundry and pantry space.
We provided the future owner of the house with plans showing design possibilities for expanding the house and creating a master suite with upstairs roof dormers and a small addition downstairs. The proposed design would optimize the house for current use while respecting the original integrity of the house.

Laurie BrasnettHumble home.
Actually this is our family great room -a passive sunroom on the northern prairies in a midsized city. My beginnings -my thesis built - in a time of great environmental innovation and progression before good access to many choices of materials and during a shortage of trades. Still on time and on budget!
My northern clients suggested I show a home with materials available to the northerners at a reasonable cost. This is a humble home.
This 1998 urban country home is a passive solar Universal Designed home. It was a thesis actually successfully built by Northridge Homes within budget and on time. This is the great room and a few photos of the master suite. The ceiling is a scissored vault: essential for the active clay soil movement.
The landscaping and cross breezes keep it cool in the summer. Winters are cozy with the sun heating the home until suppertime. Halls are wide and bathrooms accommodate wheelchair use. 3 generous bedrooms are on this level. The kitchen is designed for family cooking together and the space allows for some good dance moves in the kitchen. The outdoors and indoors flow barrier free. The full basement includes a tornado shelter, huge teen suite downstairs, large full bath with enclosed tub, large open living space, media centre and hidden media operation room and large design studio. It is unintentionally feng shui compliant too. The house was fully wired for electronics. The fully landscaped yard features brick driveway and large patio, a parking pad tucked into the shrubbery, fire pit, veggie garden, and xeriscape plantings. The year round compost management was featured in the Prairie Edition of Gardens West.
I miss this home! It was designed to capture the sun and really worked well for our active family life indoors and out.

Saikley ArchitectsWe updated this 1907 two-story family home for re-sale. We added modern design elements and amenities while retaining the home’s original charm in the layout and key details. The aim was to optimize the value of the property for a prospective buyer, within a reasonable budget.
New French doors from kitchen and a rear bedroom open out to a new bi-level deck that allows good sight lines, functional outdoor living space, and easy access to a garden full of mature fruit trees. French doors from an upstairs bedroom open out to a private high deck overlooking the garden. The garage has been converted to a family room that opens to the garden.
The bathrooms and kitchen were remodeled the kitchen with simple, light, classic materials and contemporary lighting fixtures. New windows and skylights flood the spaces with light. Stained wood windows and doors at the kitchen pick up on the original stained wood of the other living spaces.
New redwood picture molding was created for the living room where traces in the plaster suggested that picture molding has originally been. A sweet corner window seat at the living room was restored. At a downstairs bedroom we created a new plate rail and other redwood trim matching the original at the dining room. The original dining room hutch and woodwork were restored and a new mantel built for the fireplace.
We built deep shelves into space carved out of the attic next to upstairs bedrooms and added other built-ins for character and usefulness. Storage was created in nooks throughout the house. A small room off the kitchen was set up for efficient laundry and pantry space.
We provided the future owner of the house with plans showing design possibilities for expanding the house and creating a master suite with upstairs roof dormers and a small addition downstairs. The proposed design would optimize the house for current use while respecting the original integrity of the house.
