We're very proud to announce that our Kensington Laneway House has been awarded a 2018 BILD Calgary Award for Housing Excellence.
It's a truly unique project, comprising a three storey primary home facing a two storey laneway home across a central courtyard. A tunnel beneath the yard connects both units to facilitate multi-generational family living.
It's a creative solution to allow for aging in place while allowing each part of the family an independent lifestyle.
PROJECT BRIEF:
• A three-storey family home at the street.
• A two storey laneway suite with double garage at the back alley
• A courtyard between them.
• A tunnel connecting the two homes beneath the courtyard
• A rooftop deck with skyline views.
• A basement gym with sauna under the main house.
• A ping pong tournament space under the suite!
• Vertical gardens to maximize growing space (it’s a tight urban property).
• Modern lines with massing that respects the existing streetscape.
