In the serene inner-city neighbourhood of Scarboro, the Sunset Residence is a masterclass in blending timeless design with thoughtful functionality.
Perched on a sloped site, this 3500-square-foot home boasts uninterrupted views of Calgary’s downtown skyline, setting the stage for a bold and ambitious renovation tailored to an active and holistic lifestyle.
The transformation reimagined the home’s mid-century modern roots, infusing them with Japandi design principles. Warm blonde oak floors, caramel-toned millwork, and textured charcoal stone create a harmonious juxtaposition of the serene and the dramatic. The heart of the home—its sleek yet efficient kitchen—features moody Brazilian arabescato stone, rich onyx-stained wood cabinetry, and clever storage solutions, maximizing every square inch. A custom banquette and table nook near the window invite moments of quiet dining bathed in natural light, while a striking metal screen nods to the home’s original design ethos.
Beyond its striking design, the residence is a true sanctuary, seamlessly integrating features that support health, wellness, and recovery. Balancing beauty and practicality, the Sunset Residence stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity, transforming a storied mid-century gem into a modern haven infused with charm and character.
