Landscape of exterior rooms: The site is conceived as a string of rooms: a landscaped drive-way court, a lawn for play, a sunken court, a serene shade garden, a New England flower garden.
The stair grows out of the garden level ordering the surrounding rooms as it rises to a light filled courtyard at the Master suite on the top floor. On each level the rooms are arranged in a circuit around the stair core, making a series of distinct suites for the children, for the parents, and for their common activities.

Perched high above Calgary’s vibrant East Village, this condo was designed to reflect the homeowner’s story — layered, personal, and full of meaningful pieces collected over time. The homeowner wanted to create a space that feels authentic, inviting, and connected to her life experiences.
Working collaboratively, we curated furnishings and finishes that balance character with comfort. Each choice integrated treasured items with new elements to enhance functionality, improve visual flow, and express her unique narrative.
The result is a warm, eclectic home where she can work productively, relax fully, and take in sweeping views of the Bow River at the end of each day.

This interior is a curated celebration of artistic freedom and layered textures. It blends Art Deco elegance with bohemian warmth—creating a space that feels both refined and richly expressive. Each element contributes to a narrative that is soulful, slightly unconventional, and deeply inviting.
Intricate patterns meet luxurious surfaces: mirrored accents, matte metals, plush textiles, and layered rugs. The tactile contrast brings depth and personality, giving each corner a story of craftsmanship and layered design.
Zones transition softly—seating areas, reading nooks, and display shelves coexist without visual tension. Arched openings, sculptural furniture, and atmospheric lighting guide movement through the space naturally, with poetic intention.
Lighting is considered art—waning shadows, glowing highlights, and reflective surfaces breathe life into textures. The ambiance is calm but charged: moody yet intentional, theatrical without drama.
This is a home that feels lived-in by a creative spirit. It's not rigidly modern, but rather curated—and beautifully imperfect. It exudes warmth, curiosity, and a quiet confidence that invites reflection.

This project captures the essence of quiet luxury and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Each room is designed to highlight the surrounding ocean views, with a palette of warm neutrals, tactile textures, and organic forms.
From the freestanding tub framed by sea-blue horizons to the layered lighting in the kitchen and the airy openness of the master bedroom, every space flows effortlessly, inviting relaxation and balance.
The materials — soft woods, natural stone, and textured textiles — reinforce the sense of calm, while large windows and thoughtful layouts let the light and views become part of the design narrative.
Crafted by Xpress Rendering, this project reflects a harmonious blend of serenity, functionality, and emotional connection to place.

Located in Surrey Hills, this Grade II Listed cottage design was inspired by its heritage, special architectural and historic interest. Our perception was to surround this place with honest and solid materials, soft and natural fabrics, handmade items and family treasures to bring the values and needs of this family at the center of their home. We paid attention to what really matters and brought them together in a slower way of living.
By separating the silent parts of this house from the vibrant ones, we gave individuality; this created different levels for use. We left open space to give room to life, change and creativity. We left things visible to touch those that matter. We gave a narrative sense of life.

The raw beauty of walnut woodgrains is brought to life with natural, dry finishes that allow the material to speak for itself. In harmony with the landscape, these distinctive designs capture the nature of refined modernity and are destined to beautifully inhabit their surroundings
