Loft area.
Split-Level to Loft, southwest Calgary, 2004
This renovation of a split-level in a 1960s neighbourhood primarily involved removing walls in order to
open up the main floor into a loft-like space, using furnishings, fittings and free-standing walls for
space delineation. The kitchen and dining areas changed places, and the original oak flooring was
matched and extended throughout the main floor. Creating a drywall bulkhead over the fireplace
instead of a mantle, and massing a smaller amount of more expensive tile on the wall area below, is a
stylish but cost-saving move. New dark-stained cherry cabinetry and composite granite counters
contribute to the overall modern aesthetic throughout.
