The goal for this project was to complete a renovation for a single-family townhouse located in north west Calgary. The project included the development of the basement, main floor, and second floor. This included the kitchen, living room, dining room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a principle bedroom with an ensuite. The client was a family of 5; James and Olivia Smith and their three children Ben, Max, and Phoebe. The family enjoys partaking in activities outside, including skiing, biking, and camping. They love socializing and hosting events for their friends and family, which made it important to be sure the space was welcoming and inviting for all. James and Olivia have raised their kids to “live with content”. This means the intent is focused on not creating harm to the environment, but instead preventing as much harm from occuring to the environment through your interactions with it. As a result, the Smith’s requested to be as sustainable as possible throughout the duration of the project. This included appropriate selections for furnishings, finishes, and being environmentally friendly as possible during construction.
