Hybrid Estate Home

About the Project

The customer desired to create a modern house within an established area of Mount Royal in Calgary that was predominantly heritage and estate in its status quo.

The project creates a more traditional envelope but annexes a series of “black boxes” from which the remainder of the home derives its proportion, glazing and details.
As a result, the nature of the build can pivot around these minimal pieces to tie-in a more Demure and minimal interior. The Interior architecture in turn offers a varied volumetric space arranged along a traditional circulation spine. Each open space flows and opens into each owner’s engage in the promenade. The stair is disarticulated between a sculptural main floor podium and a rising cantilevered structure that culminates romantically in the roof / attic of the building.
