The East Elbow Residence is an 8,070-square-foot family home resting on the Elbow River in Calgary’s inner-city neighbourhood of Elbow Park. It isn’t just a house; it’s where art and architecture find their rhythm, creating a home that’s as dynamic as it is refined.

Brimming with personality and bold design choices, this custom home fearlessly blends modernity with timeless charm, weaving saturated hues, rich textures, and seamless functionality into every stitch of its design fabric.

At the heart of this home is a varied and unapologetic use of colour, inspired by a carefully curated collection of contemporary Canadian art. The interior palette doesn’t merely complement the collection; it celebrates it. Think rich greens in a hidden lounge, striking mustard yellows in a cozy media room sectional, and delicate blush tones in the primary ensuite’s pink-veined marble. Far from shy, this home embraces brazen design choices with open arms, proving that colour can be as grounding as it is daring.

The kitchen deserves a standing ovation, with three purpose-driven islands (yes, three!) and a 12-person custom dining table that puts hospitality front and center. This home was built with gatherings in mind and reflects the clients’ passion for hosting with every element tailored to elevate the art of entertaining. Parties flow effortlessly from dining to fireside conversations in the elegantly appointed sitting area featuring a custom curvilinear loveseat boldly patterned in an abstract floral + mustard velvet. This home doesn’t just welcome guests – it practically hands them a cocktail.
