Construction is progressing nicely on our client’s #Dovercourt Garden Suite. This 757 SF two bedroom, single-storey #backyardcottage is taking shape. #duxtonwindows and doors scheduled to be installed this week!

Coming to #MalmoPlains! We’ve been busy visualizing this contemporary two-story, two-bedroom, two-bathroom, single garage #gardensuite. Set on a corner lot, the small balcony will face the flanking street. Applying for permits soon. Can’t wait to see it built.

This unique two-storey #gardensuite sits beside an existing garage. The owners wanted to keep their garage which has been substantially upgraded over the years. We designed a compact dwelling to fit in the remaining space. Framing is complete and rough-ins are well underway. We are excited to be working with Kuby Renewable Energy LTD. on this project. An 8 kW solar array will be installed this summer!

A new Garden Suite Design is underway for our client’s elderly parents so they can safely age in place, close to home, close to family. This Garden Suite is coming to the Edmonton community of Dovercourt! It’s a 36’ x 22’ backyard cottage accompanied by a new detached garage. Our client is taking advantage of their lot size and shape, separating the Garden Suite from the garage. A dominant characteristic of our client’s backyard is a massive tree. We’ve designed around the tree which will offer shade, a home for wildlife, and changing views throughout the seasons. We enjoy helping our clients visualize how their project is going to feel on their property. By providing renderings or 3D animations, the images and video help to align the homeowner, designer, contractor, trades and suppliers throughout the stages of the project.

As part of our design process, we develop a 3D model to help our clients visualize their project. This is an exciting stage of the design. This massing study is for a little backyard cottage we're designing in the community of Glenora. A 3D model is also super beneficial for our team of trades and suppliers to help them get a sense of what we're going to build. Much easier to show them what it's going to look like vs. explaining it.

More and more people are choosing to live life in the lane. Animated massing model of a New Garden Suite coming to Glenora in 2021.
