Our Custom Home Design Process

Discover

It all starts with discovery, where we get to know you, and you get to know us. Choosing a home designer who aligns with your needs is one of the most important parts of designing a custom home in Calgary. You’ll complete our in-depth design questionnaire, and we’ll answer any questions you have about our process and approach.

Design

Now it’s time to start your custom home design. We’ll put your ideas into drawings, pausing as often as needed to ensure we’re headed in the right direction.

Develop

After you approve the sketches, we’ll create detailed drawings using 3D modelling software to illustrate more aspects of your home. This will help you visualize the interior and exterior of your home, how it flows from room to room, and each room’s orientation.

Approve

At this stage, your home’s design details are complete. Next comes the approval process, where you’ll require the necessary permits to start developing your custom home.

Assist

By now, you’ll have a chosen custom home builder who will begin to develop your new home. But don’t worry, we’re still here for you! We’ll be there throughout the creative and construction process of building, happy to provide direction, make amendments if needed, or answer any more questions.

Our Home Design Services

We offer custom home design in Calgary, including interior and renovation design. We also offer multifamily home design and partner with custom home builders, architects, and other interior design firms in Calgary to bring your dream home to life.

Custom Home Design

Custom home design encompasses the entire design of your home based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, routines, and future plans. Every person and family is unique, which is why building a custom home makes sense for individuals and small and large families.

Renovation Design

Own a home but want to upgrade it? Call us for a renovation in Calgary. In the same way we approach custom home design, we’ll understand your unique needs and style preferences before redesigning your home. Then, we’ll connect you with one of our trusted renovation contractors in Calgary who will handle the actual renovation of your home.

Interior Design

Our interior design services focus on spatial planning, room orientation, ergonomics, and feature placement. Interior design is about the functionality of a home's interior spaces. After the exterior style and floor plan have been set, we’ll integrate these features in each room after understanding how you’ll use them.

Multi Family Home Design

We also design multifamily housing, including fourplexes, townhouses, condos, and everything in between. Our designs focus on blending community, comfort, and style, balancing aesthetics and functionality. If you’re a developer in Calgary looking for help with property selection and multi family home design, let’s talk.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Home Design in Calgary

What is a custom style home?

A custom style home is a home that is tailored to a person or family’s unique needs, style preferences, lifestyle, routine, and more. The process of designing a custom home in Calgary is incredibly collaborative, ensuring all of our client’s needs and details are integrated while balancing aesthetics and functionality.

Do you work with custom home builders in Calgary?

Yes. We can help you design a custom home in Calgary and connect you with established home builders who will help build your new home.

Do I need an architect to design a home?

Architects are needed for complex, large-scale projects or those that require significant structural changes. Residential designers often get called architects, and though both of these professionals can help you design a home, architects typically have higher costs.

What is the difference between residential and architectural design?

While both professionals can design homes, architects have broader qualifications, which allows them to take on more complex and varied building projects. Residential designers specialize in the aesthetic and functional aspects of home design, though they can still ensure your home is structurally sound without the costs of an architect. Not sure if your home needs an architect? Get in touch, and let’s talk.

What is the difference between residential and interior design?

A residential designer is responsible for the look and feel of a home. The design process considers the function and structure of a home while taking the climate, topography, and surrounding environment into consideration. Interior design, on the other hand, focuses on style, comfort, functionality, and personal expression. It includes everything from space planning and traffic flow to materials and colour schemes.
