EDITOR’S NOTE

IT’S A COOL, COOL SUMMER

PEPPER RODRIGUEZ EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide

+

That ‘80s Bananarama hit might sound a little ironic these days with the heat wave, but there’s very little to complain about.

The lockdown’s been lifted, showhome events are back, even as the new home market continues to show strength.

Showing just how hot this summer has become is the opening of the new community of Ambleton by Qualico Communities in the booming north. With new front-attached garage and laned home showhomes now open, it’s bound to get hotter. Find out more in our cover feature.

Not to be outdone, Copperstone in the southeast is releasing its newest phase with even more single-family models, including some that haven’t been seen in the Copperfield area for the past decade. And the young Springbank community of Harmony shows just how dynamic it is as its longawaited Adventure Park opens, as well as new no-condo fee townhomes from StreetSide.

We also take time to talk to one of Calgary’s hottest designers, Alykhan Velji, to discuss the latest half-bath designs.

Even as we interview homebuilders to find out the latest trends in front-drive garage homes (or FDG, for short), see what we were able to find out inside.

We also take a quick tour of the rapidly expanding southeast communities of Calgary and see why more and more homebuyers are choosing to live here. There are more choices than ever before and the opening of new communities like Rangeview and Hotchkiss ensures continued growth in the future.

If you need more convincing that the excitement is back, just check out the stories in our Inside Calgary about what other communities and showhomes are opening up.

I’ve waited more than a year to say this again, so – hope to see you again at the showhomes.

Cover Story

Ambleton comes alive!

by PePPer rodriguez The rolling, windswept foothills of Calgary’s north are a powerful sight that brings nostalgic memories of its pioneer past, but the booming growth this sector has enjoyed over the past few years shows us the promise of the future. The opening of the first showhomes in the new community of Ambleton is keeping this promise alive.

The just-opened northwest neighbourhood of Ambleton is the perfect example of this sector’s rapid growth, as the young community displays much of the vibrancy and connection to nature that the northwest has become famous for.

8 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

Ambleton is being developed by Qualico Communities Calgary and can be seen as the sequel to its all-but-built-out, and exceedingly popular community of Evanston just across the road.

With laned homes and frontdrive garage showhomes now open in the first phase and duplex homes and multi-family developments coming up soon, Ambleton has the similar diverse range in home options that has made Evanston so successful.

“What’s really great about this new community is its proximity to already established communities,” says Nina Wulder, Communications &

Marketing Coordinator at Qualico Communities. “Shops, services, parks, pathways and bus route are all within five minutes of the community.”

Lying along Calgary’s northwestern edge, just off the 14 St. NW access to Stoney Trail, Ambleton is made up of 160 acres that will have just over 1,200 homes in eight phases. It will feature enhanced natural settings and views of the surrounding landscape with play areas and gathering places for its residents to enjoy.

The convenience of living here is made even more captivating by the huge number of already-

established amenities nearby.

The twin commercial centres of the Evanston Towne Centre and Evanston Plaza are at the very doorstep of the community, CrossIron Mills is a straight shot down Stoney Trail and Highway 2, and there is no shortage of public and separate schools in the vicinity. It’s also close to numerous employment hubs, not the least of which is the Calgary International Airport that’s just 15 minutes away.

Ambleton has gathered several of Calgary’s most prominent builders, and their expertise can already be seen in the newly opened showhomes.

In Phase 1 there are laned homes by Broadview Homes and Jayman BUILT starting in the mid $400’s and Front-Drive Garage Homes from Shane Homes, Sterling Homes and Trico Homes starting in the high $500’s. Condos, townhomes and duplexes are scheduled to be introduced in Phase 2.

Qualico Communities had launched an online promotion on Facebook in June to safely drum up interest in Ambleton and the new showhomes, and Wulder says it has been very warmly received while still keeping the well-being of staff and buyers in mind.

“We strongly recommend visitors make an appointment to view the showhomes with the builders. This way visitors can have a more in-depth conversation with the builder sales teams without any interruptions. Also, safety remains a priority and builders want to showcase their homes in the safest way possible.”

Wulder notes that pre-sale numbers have been great, and the momentum is continuing now that the showhomes are open.

“The Facebook promotion is an opportunity for us to showcase the new showhomes in the community virtually in lieu of an in-person event. We also partnered

with Shaw for an exclusive offer to buyers, and prizes for those who engage in the posts. There has been more engagement and interest in these events thanks to these added perks!”

What has been getting a lot of interest is the pond lots on Phase 1 that were the first to sell out.

“These lots will back onto the stormwater pond which will be the hub of the community.

Laned homes have also been incredibly popular as well due to their affordability for first time homebuyers,” Wulder tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

“Most buyers are coming from NW and NE Calgary and have been taking advantage of getting those established amenities nearby. We have a number of buyers coming from the Qualico communities of Evanston and Redstone, which speaks to the value and quality of our previous communities too,” she adds.

The storm pond is expected to become a focal point in the community for residents. “It will have pathways and sitting areas and provide a natural space where neighbours can gather,” Wulder says. “There will be one high school site and over seven kilometres of pathways winding through the community once it is completed.”

Ambleton is the latest development from Qualico Communities Calgary, adding to the nearly 40 previously

established and current Qualico communities in the Calgary Region. “We take pride in developing communities where residents and neighbours can make memories that last a lifetime.

At Qualico Communities we create what we believe in: Communities where people can live, thrive, and grow,” Wulder says.

Ambleton continues this dedication. “Calgary’s north is growing at an incredible pace, and it really has a lot to offer, but even if Evanston is almost finished, Qualico Communities’ Ambleton just next door is already up and running and very much continues our vision for growth and community in the area,” she adds.

PROPERTY PROFILE

HARMONY RECREATION TAKES CENTERSTAGE IN HARMONY Recreation is a big part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle, and if we learned anything from last year, it is that there can never be enough recreational opportunities close to home. And in this regard, Harmony is king.

The winner of four BILD Calgary Region Community of the Year awards, Harmony is outclassing any and all competition with the number of recreational opportunities it offers within the community itself or just outside its borders.

Its long-awaited Adventure Park is now open giving residents a four-season playground that it had always promised for kids of any age. The tobogganing hill and ice-skating ribbon saw much use already during the past winter, and now the pump track, skate park, climbing wall and dog park components are ready to be enjoyed.

The more than 12-acre park is quickly becoming the heart of the community, and even more amenities are on the way. The South Beach building is opening 12 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

this summer and features change rooms, outdoor showers, guest entry kiosk and bike racks, says Bordeaux Developments Marketing Manager, Laurel Lapointe.

“We have started construction on a new park in Phase 10, it has a playground, half basketball court and green space. It is expected to be complete this fall,” she adds.

“The amenities provide the residents with four seasons of outdoor activity and with such a wide variety of amenities there is something for every type of family.”

Life is indeed flourishing in this Springbank community just west of Calgary, as sales have soared this year with more buyers attracted to its resort-themed lifestyle. Jointly developed by Bordeaux Developments and Qualico Communities, Harmony will see even more homeowning opportunities come in that widens the scope of choices here more than ever before.

“Harmony’s master plan has always included homes in a variety of styles and price ranges

for everyone,” says Lapointe. “It’s exciting to be offering a price point that enables even more families to enjoy the Harmony lifestyle.”

The Poplar Collection has been off to a great start, Lapointe says.

This collection gathers frontdrive and laned move-up homes from Baywest Homes, Broadview Homes and Sterling Homes from the $620,000s.

“There’s been a lot of interest in building in Springbank in this price range and not having to sacrifice on the size of home,” Lapointe says. “At that price point you can get a 2,300-square-foot home, all within walking distance of the lake, a playground and the new Adventure Park.”

The Tamarack Collection is the high-end of the spectrum offering lakeside residences from $1.2 million from Baywest Homes and Augusta Fine Homes. “People want the lifestyle of a private access to Harmony Lake. They are looking for that legacy home, where they can raise their children or entertain grandkids on the lake, in their backyard. Most lots also have private docks.”

The Tamarack Collection also offers upscale living on larger country-sized lots ranging in size from 50- to 70-foot-wide frontages and has proven to be one of the more popular home segments in Harmony. Homes here start at $930,000 with home, average lot and GST. Still available are the everpopular paired bungalows in the Willow Collection exclusively from NuVista Homes. They sit on 44foot lots backing onto even more greenspace, offering relaxed and sophisticated living with a lifestylefirst sensibility.

New is the Birch Collection which introduces townhomes in Harmony to offer a more affordable lifestyle in this fourseason resort community.

StreetSide Developments brought

Harmony Peaks and Harmony Parks, the first multi-family developments in the community.

The former presents traditional, maintenance free townhomes from the $460,000s, and the latter offers no-condo-fee townhomes with a new show home opening July 10.

The Poplar Collection also offers select rear-laned carriage homes from Broadview Homes and Sterling Homes. And being welcomed to the group is Daytona Homes. “They have already started pre-sales and are excited to join the community with a new show home in 2022,” Lapointe says.

Being a homeowner in Harmony also gives one enviable access to the prestigious Mickelson National Golf Club just next door. “Harmony residents receive a social membership to the club - it is included in their Owners Association Fees. This gives them access to four rounds of golf at a discounted rate (even when it is a fully private course), access to the future clubhouse and the driving range.”

Even more exciting is the entry of spa developer Groupe Nordik to construct its fourth Canadian spa in Harmony. Spanning 5 acres in Harmony’s Village Centre, the spa represents the creation of approximately 400 full- and parttime, local jobs when it opens.

Harmony’s pristine location in Springbank adds to its long list

of amenity-rich lifestyle features.

It is less than an hour from the mountains, and even less to downtown Calgary.

“All the amenities are set in the prairie foothills with gorgeous Rocky Mountain views. Harmony brings together the best of urban and country experiences to create a remarkable place that is neither a suburb nor city-centre. It is its own complete community spanning 1,750 acres in Rocky View County, just eight minutes west of Calgary’s city limit,” she says.

Hopewell, Qualico team up for Hotchkiss community Two giants in Calgary’s community development industry joined forces to bring to life the newest southeast community: Hotchkiss.

Hopewell Residential and Qualico Communities joined together to begin development of this 237acre community at the juncture of Stoney Trail and Highway 22X. Its development can’t come any sooner, as the completion of neighbouring communities of Copperfield, New Brighton and Auburn Bay gives rise to new housing demand in the area.

“We’re excited to announce that land development officially commenced this June, with grading and home construction preparation now fully underway,” says Brett Friesen, Hopewell Residential’s Senior VicePresident, Business and Community Development.

Claudio Palumbo, Qualico Communities’ Vice President, Community Development – Southern Alberta says they are thrilled as well. “We have been seeking opportunities to grow Qualico’s business 14 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

in Calgary’s highly active southeast sector for many years and jumped at this opportunity when it became available to us.”

With show homes set to open in Fall, 2022, the new community will feature family-friendly paired homes, laned homes and front-attached garage homes. At full build-out, Hotchkiss will include 2,300 homes, and will be home to nearly 5,000 residents.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lougheed House is one of the only surviving examples of a grand sandstone prairie mansion.

Originally built in 1891 by James and Isabella Lougheed, it was designated a National Historic Site on June 10, 1992.

No-Condo-Fee townhomes come to Harmony StreetSide Developments is excited to offer Harmony’s first no-condo fee townhomes, as the renowned developer opens its Harmony Park showhomes.

The new Harmony Park showhome is designed to wow with top-of-the-line features that elevate it to an executive-style townhome. The corner unit showhome includes a triple-car detached garage and a developed lower level that achieves the unit’s true potential and defines a luxurious lifestyle.

“We really went overboard with the lavish attention to detail included in this showhome,” says Area Manager Anetta Moscibrodzki.

Harmony Park townhomes range in size from 1,684to 1,716 sq. ft. with three- to four bedrooms and twoand-a-half to three-and-a-half baths. They come with double or triple detached garages. They start from the $480’s plus GST. It is the second of two townhome projects StreetSide has in this premier lake community jointly developed

by Qualico Communities and Bordeaux Developments.

Harmony Peaks is also available, offering traditional row townhomes. Visit the show home at 201 Alpine Rush View, Rocky View County. Or go to www.harmonytownhomes.ca for more information.

Brookfield’s new Purcell in Livingston The north community of Livingston continues to grow, as Brookfield Residential introduces its newest showhome: The Purcell 2.

With three bedrooms and twoand-a-half baths, it is the ideal front-drive garage home. “The Purcell 2 brings functional space and a great layout that buyers will love. The main floor office remains connected to the house – a perfect workspace for adults, or homework hub for kids.

There is a huge upper-level bonus room, perfect for family movie nights,” says Brookfield Residential Marketing Manager, Justin Catelino.

The 2,229 square-foot Purcell 2 has an additional 655 sq. ft. developed basement that realizes

its full potential. The kitchen is a picture of functional and stylish perfection with a large island and walk-through pantry, connected to a spacious mudroom.

“The finishing in this home really shines – natural wood tones are complimented by blue and grey tones, creating a calming vibe throughout the home. The carpet is extra plush, the herringbone backsplash is rich in texture, the open shelves create dimension in the kitchen.

Everything comes together in a simple, yet thoughtful way. It really feels like home.”

Cranston’s Riverstone

Southern pride explore southeast Calgary by pepper rodriguez

TV traffic reports sometimes refer to Calgary’s southeast as the “deep south,” perhaps in jest for what can sometimes be a challenging commute to the downtown. But these communities east of the Bow River and on either side of the southern portion of Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail can boast some of the best lifestyle balance anywhere.

The new communities along Calgary’s southern borders have diversity, density and delight in equal measure. Every type of housing option in every budget is readily available here, the new community of Seton – the home 20 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

of the world-class South Health Campus hospital – is shaping up to be a commercial and employment hub, and the endless delight of living so close to the Fish Creek Provincial Park and the Bow River’s best fishing holes cannot be understated as qualities anyone would want in a forever home.

The twin lake communities of Mahogany by Hopewell Residential and the all-but-sold-out Auburn Bay by Brookfield Residential have proven the enduring popularity of the stay-cation model that is often replicated in today’s newer communities. Wolf Willow

by WestCreek Developments,

and Cranston’s Riverstone by Brookfield Residential both rely on their riverside locations to lure nature-loving homeowners.

While Walden by Genstar and Legacy by WestCreek point to the convenience and wide choice of homes they offer for their success.

Anthem United’s trio of communities - Belmont, Pine Creek and Sirocco at Pine Creek - and Hudson at Creekstone by Highfield Land Management, as well as Yorktown by Mattamy, are all technically in the southwest as they lie on the west side of Macleod Trail. Artesia by Brookfield Residential is further south just

outside the city’s boundaries.

But all of those communities are close enough to the border of the SE and they also benefit from all those close-by amenities that it is worthwhile mentioning them in this feature as well.

The southeast had been a major area of growth in Calgary over the last decade and the rapid succession of new communities continues unabated with the introduction of Rangeview from Section 23 that will be opening showhomes soon, and the just announced start of development for Hotchkiss to be jointly undertaken by Hopewell Residential and Qualico Communities.

There is growth for sure. But why do people love living here?

First time home buyers, Ceazar Simon and Coleen Cruz, knew they wanted to own their own home and have been searching since 2019. With the help of a realtor, they found one in Wolf Willow.

“We really didn’t know what we wanted, or where. We just knew it had to be a single-family home that we could afford,” Ceazar tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “Our realtor took us to Wolf Willow and we saw the Raeya from Trico Homes and we fell in love with it right away.”

He says they had no idea about this new community, but he’s glad they found it. “We

Seton YMCA

didn’t have a clue about Wolf Willow, and we were just so surprised that it’s close to the river, near the golf course and lots of commercial amenities just around the corner. We’re so glad to have found this,” he adds.

Both of them grew up in Calgary but they were unfamiliar with the new Calgary suburbs. “I grew up in Millrise and Coleen’s from the north and we still have family there so it’s cool that Wolf Willow is kind of in the middle.”

Pet people also love that many of the city’s biggest dog parks as found in the area., there are 14 City-run off-leash areas in the southeast. The 10-acre Jim Davidson Bark and Play area in Auburn Bay is busy any day of the week, River Park runs by the Bow River and connects to regional pathways to nearby communities of Quarry Park and Douglasdale.

CranSTon’S riverSTone

Cranston’s Riverstone is a community built around outdoor living, promoting healthy, active lifestyles. All of the homes are just steps away from parks and pathways, while still being close to great schools, playgrounds and amenities. The community includes a 22,000 sq. ft. Residents Association facility and 7.5-acre park that is the gathering place for friends and neighbours to come together, connect, learn, and stay active.

Cranston’s Riverstone has lived up to all expectations as southeast Calgary’s premier riverside community, and it may be hard to believe but it is already approaching build out.

SeTon

Directly across the Deerfoot Trail from Riverstone is what just may be Brookfield Residential’s crowning glory in Seton. Billed as Calgary’s “Downtown South,” the young, vibrant community is quickly fulfilling its vast potential with its complete “live, work, play” lifestyle.

It has the South Health Campus hospital right at its entrance, the world-record holding biggest YMCA, and more shops, restaurants, hotels and groceries than you can shake a stick at.

Of course, the outstanding array of home owning options that Seton has is what has made it so successful in such short a time.

They opened new show homes in the latest phase this past spring and visitor traffic there has been very encouraging.

Walden

In 2019 about 75 per cent of the 411-acre community had already been built out. It will have around 4,000 homes when it is completed. Feature park with 2 kms of walking trails that wrap around the neighbourhood and connect to the regional pathway system and to Fish Creek Park.

Seton South Health Campus nexthome.ca 21

Mahogany

At 63 acres, Mahogany not only has Calgary’s largest lake, it also has more beach area, at 21 acres, than any other community in the city, making it the place to live for those who desire the fun and relaxation a lake lifestyle has to offer. legaCy

Legacy won the Community of The Year for 2015 and 2016 and has since gone on to greater heights, offering everything from affordable townhomes to million-dollar estate homes on the ridge. “This is a community for everyone, where families can put down roots. Where you can buy your first home and move on to a bigger family home and onto a downsizer home without leaving the community,” says Kalida Manarin, marketing manager at WestCreek Developments. explore

The natural wonders of Fish Creek Provincial Park can be easily accessed from these neighbourhoods.

Fish Creek Park covers much of

the southern breadth of the city, encompassing 1,348 hectares stretching some 20 kilometres from the T’suu Tina Reserve at 37th Street to the Bow River’s banks in the east and dividing established and newer suburbs that have sprung up beside it.

Running along shallow, winding Fish Creek, the park is a labyrinth of walking, cycling and equestrian paths (around 80 km in total), peppered by groves of mature trees and open meadows.

Today the park attracts more than 3 million visitors a year, from naturalists to history buffs, nature photographers, hikers, walkers, cyclists and picnicking families, according to the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park, the non-profit organization that helps run the park. “Calgarians and tourists alike come to enjoy the many opportunities offered by this natural area in the midst of Calgary’s dynamic urban environment.” dine and Shop

Seton is the epicentre of commercial, retail, recreation

and dining in the southeast. Its urban district will have 1 million square-feet of retail space that has already blossomed into a multitude of offerings, from the Superstore to the Cineplex VIP Theatre – the first ever in Alberta.

Mountain Equipment Co-op is a big retail presence here. Tommyfield Gastro Pub, Boston Pizza, TiNi Vietnamese Restaurant, to name but a few, can satisfy foodie cravings for sure.

Mahogany Village Market is the first development in the community’s highly anticipated Urban Village. This retail district features an exciting list of shops and services, including Sobeys, Tim Horton’s, Cobs Bread, ATB Financial, Dairy Queen, Kinjo Sushi & Grill, The Canadian Brewhouse, and State & Main.

The massive Township Shopping Centre in Legacy is also shaping up fast as a major source for shopping and entertainment and services, providing a much needed amenity to the communities in the area.

Copperstone releases Modern and exeCutive style HoMes in pHase 4

by PePPer rodriguez Excitement is ramping up in Copperstone, as Vesta Properties announces the release of Phase 4 of this dynamic, young community in the southeast that will see the debut of new home styles, some of which haven’t been available in the area for more than 10 years.

On July 24 and 25, Vesta Properties will be releasing 51 modern single-family homes and 14 larger Executive Single-Family Homes that will cater to needs of growing families looking for their forever home.

Homebuyers can choose from the Modern Single-Family Home and the Executive Sigle-Family Home, each with a double attached front-drive garage and a varied set 24 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

of floorplans to fit contemporary or multigenerational lifestyles and everything in between.

The Modern Single-Family Homes range from 2,015 to 2,508 square-feet; while the Executive Single Family Homes are from 2,508 to 2,934 square-feet. Some of the latter will have walk-out lots that back onto Copperstone’s impressive greenspace areas and regional pathway system.

“We are excited to announce the upcoming release of our Phase 4 in Copperstone.” says Vesta Sales Manager, AJ van der Linden.

“These types of larger homes have not been available to buy new in the Copperfield area for at least 10 years now.”

He believes there is definite demand for these larger homes in Copperstone that has the distinct advantage of having a built-out community with all the necessary amenities already surrounding it.

And with prices starting from the $500,000s for the Modern homes, and in the $600,000s for the Executive homes, all including GST, they will likely sell fast.

“These homes will be perfect for families with school-age children. And with the option of adding a legal basement suite with side entry, it is perfect for multigenerational living or as a mortgage helper,” van der Linden says.

Besides the legal basement suites and private side door entrance,

Vesta is also offering a full range of customizable options that has never been as readily available before.

Among the new custom options now available for single-family homes in Copperstone are framing preferences that can include vaulted ceilings, open stairwell or fourth bedroom options.

Buyers also get a wider choice in finishings from interior colours to cabinet hardware and everything in between. There is also a full range of add-on features that they have access to, including gas ranges, decks, and barbecue gas lines.

There is even $9,000 worth of limited-time incentives to further sweeten the pot, including a blinds package, luxury vinyl flooring, slide-in range and fridge with water and ice dispensers.

With over 30 years of experience, Vesta has the ability and expertise to offer such customization options to fit any lifestyle and remain reasonably within budget.

Van der Linden says that homes in Phase 4 are decidedly aimed at the upscale market. “They will come with some of the highest standard features around and are designed to provide more living space to suit today’s modern family life, including larger home offices, dens, bonus rooms and even bigger bathrooms.”

The Executive homes will also be on larger lots, some as big as 38-foot-wide and 110-feet deep.

“Families will feel that they have the freedom to grow and comfortably set down roots,” he adds.

Vesta is also adapting a more contemporary look for these homes including Modern Farmhouse and Prairie exteriors that are more fitting for the highend look of the neighbourhood.

Copperstone is located in the heart of this built-out community in the southeast and residents already get to enjoy all the amenities surrounding the community. It is within walking

distance to two elementary schools (public and separate) the bustling commercial centre along 130th Ave. SE is just a fiveminute drive away, and even the world-class South Health Campus hospital and a massive recreation centre is just down the road. It all combines to give Copperstone an easy-living lifestyle.

Vesta does already offer a wide assortment of home types in Copperstone, ranging from townhomes, laned homes and the Modern and Executive homes adds to the repertoire. It can never be understated that these are the final options to buy a new build home in any community along McIvor Boulevard S.E. “Since we are the land developer and exclusive home builder in Copperstone, we have the ability to offer the product that the market wants,” van der Linden says.

B.C.-based Vesta Properties is a big believer in Alberta and has diverse range of communities and homes in both Calgary and Airdrie. Their latest development in Airdrie, Southpoint, is also moving into its latest phase.

Mainstream furniture design has taken an exciting turn lately. Maybe you have noticed it, too. From sculptural lighting and Brutalist-inspired tables to Rothkoinspired designs, decor is getting artsy.

More specifically, Museum of Modern Art worthy! And I must admit I am a huge fan. I think we can all agree that it’s not just about furniture’s function; we want the form to be equally appealing. With art galleries and museums closed, for now, our need to physically connect with art has really changed. Along with adorning our space with literal paintings and pictures, it’s interesting to see that furniture can play a pivotal role, too – the rooms in our homes can become mini art exhibits. We can be the curator of our own spaces, choosing unique furniture and decor pieces that reflect our style and needs, and bring us unending inspiration every time we enter the room.

most of your guests will be using, so put some thought into it and make it a surprise,” Aly says.

For more than a decade, Aly has brought an energetic flavour to the Canadian design scene.

Through his Aly Velji Design studio, his commercial and residential work has been a consistent awardwinner that goes beyond current trends.

An explanation first. A bathroom is considered a full bath when it has four essential fixtures: a sink, a toilet, a tub and a shower (or a tub/shower combo). A half bath has just two of the four main fixtures, usually just the toilet and a sink.

It is used mainly for the comfort of house guests and is usually on the main floor of the home, hence its importance in establishing a style for the home.

It occupies so little space yet having some of the biggest aesthetic impact in the home, the

interiors: Joel Klassen

Who ever thought fractions would come into a home’s bathroom configurations?

But here we are with half baths.

Most single-family homes these days feature two-and-a-half or three-and-a-half bathrooms, some townhomes also have a half-bath and even apartment condos include this popular feature.

The half bath, or powder room, has become such an important part of today’s lifestyle that it would be just as important to give it a style – a look that will make your guests say “oh my!” instead of “oh, meh.”

We turn to one of Calgary’s most trusted interior decorator, Aly Velji, to give us a few pointers on how to achieve this goal.

“Half baths are my favourite areas to design. It is a great place to have some fun, be a little whimsical, and take risks. Also, these are bathrooms that

“

Floating vanities with or without storage have been popular lately.

”

powder room is definitely a favourite for the design imagination. With a bit of thought, inspiration and attention to detail, this space that your guests tend to see the most has plenty of potential to wow.

Aly is very much in favour of wall treatments in the half bath, as they are a wonderful way to add interest and express taste. Tile, wallpaper, accent paint, wainscoting, wall paneling and moulding are all fantastic ways to add an extra layer of pattern, colour and texture.

“One big essential for me in a half-bath is wallpaper!” Aly tells Calgary New home + Condo Guide. “It’s a great way to add some drama to the space. Be bold with your choices.”

The plumbing hardware is of course the starting point in bathroom design (see sidebar), but the fixtures in the half bath can be treated separately from the rest of the bathrooms.

Aly says he is all for consistency, but the half bath is far removed enough from the rest of the house that it can carry its own style.

nexthome.ca 31

Next up is the washstand which brings a glamour statement to the half bath. “I love the look of a washstand in a half bath, it feels a little more elegant and you can really have fun with what you do for the base.”

There are lots of toilets to choose from these days. Low-flow, heated even automated with bidets, you can go wild with the selection.

Although pedestal sinks remain great choices for smaller areas and come in a wide range of traditional to modern pieces. A word of caution on pedestal sinks: though they are sleek and stylish, they don’t offer storage space, so you will need accompanying pieces like baskets and bins to provide the functionality.

Floating vanities with or without storage have been popular lately. They make a space light, airy and are simply cool-looking and impressive.

Lighting is also an important facet in the design of the half bath. There are many beautiful vanity lights to choose from. But, if you want to bold and have high enough ceiling for it, go for a chandelier in the middle of the room. Also trending are wall

2021 trends in bathroom designs

For the last 11 years Alykhan Velji’s boutique design firm has brought an energetic flavour to the Canadian design scene. Serving both residential and commercial clients, Aly is also a familiar face in the Canadian television industry, appearing on shows including “Designer Superstar Challenge,” “The Style Dept,” “My RONA Home” and is a resident design expert on “The Marilyn Denis Show.”

Here are his thoughts on bathroom design trends.

32 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

is THere a currenT THeme for baTHroom design THaT you would recommend?

Bathrooms are really becoming areas of the home that are becoming a lot more design forward. When it comes to tile, plumbing, millwork and lighting, the possibility of creating an oasis in the home has never been stronger. Whether you want a bold and punchy look or something soft and spa like, there is a look for you.

is gold sTill a Trending colour for baTHrooms?

Brass is a great finish to incorporate into a bathroom because of its decorative quality. I find it is a lot a warmer in its look and provides a gorgeous contrast against simple finishes. There are so many finishes of brass that you can incorporate into a space and modern fixtures are now coming in this finish as everybody wants it.

I also love using matte black hardware for pluming in bathrooms. It also provides a more sharper contrast and adds a bit of an edge.

sconces, drop one or two pendants over your sink area or add LED strip lighting behind a floating mirror and under a vanity, an instant ambience changer. Use multi-colour LED strips to instantly change the hue of your room. When planning for lighting, ensure proper wiring is roughed-in.

Add finishing touches like towels and vases and soap dispensers that can match the look of the room. Invest in a solid good quality towel bar and toilet paper holder. Just like everything else, there are lots of styles and finishes to select from. Change up your decor every now and then for a fresh look.

The half bath can really create a huge first impression in a home, and the wonderful thing is it doesn’t have to match the design of the other bathrooms in the home.

“Half baths are smaller rooms so you can really have some fun in these spaces. Think about lighting, plumbing fixtures, interesting counter tops and perhaps a patterned floor. Of course, I am a huge advocate for consistency in a home, but those rules are thrown out the window when it comes to half baths,” Aly says.

How would you approacH designing a smaller baTHroom compared To a larger one?

When it comes to smaller bathrooms, storage is key. The vanity plays a key component when it comes to smaller spaces so you have to be creative. I also love to be bold in my choices for smaller bathrooms to have a little more fun, especially in secondary bathrooms like a kids bath.

Lighting is also very important and you want to make sure you have ample lighting especially if you don’t have a lot of natural light.

sTand-alone Tubs? is

Talk abouT sHower sTalls.

THis sTill a THing?

Showers are becoming larger and more of a focal point in bathrooms. We are also seeing tubs being removed from secondary bathrooms and putting in showers instead. These areas are great spaces to add in feature tiles and unique plumbing elements that can really make the bathroom look fabulous.

Niches in showers are also a must as they provide a great place for storage and also a great area to install a feature tile.

We are still incorporating a lot of stand alone tubs in principal bathrooms. They are sculptural and beautiful, with so many different styles available, they are a great addition especially if you love your baths. We are going towards the more organic and softer shapes of tubs in our designs as I feel these lend themselves to a more spa-like aesthetic.

Front-drive garage HOMES ARE Forever

by PEPPER ROdRiguEz

What has room for two cars and a multitude of lifestyles? It’s not much of a riddle, as the answer can only be the double-attached front-drive garage home, or FDG home for short.

The FDG home is as ubiquitous as the suburbs they are generally found in. They are at the apex of the home-buying cycle. It is the home most everyone who has lived in an apartment suite, a duplex or a townhome, aspire to

Excel Homes 34 New Home + Condo Guide | July 23–Aug. 20, 2021

live in eventually. Especially when they have children, and they see their families grow.

FDG homes come in many forms. In Calgary, they are usually two storey homes usually with three-bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a basement development option. And of course, a garage to fit two cars – or more.

Recently, three-storey models that include rooftop living spaces have become popular too. FDG homes can be as luxurious or as functional as buyers want.

But the main thing they offer is convenience.

Owning a home with an attached garage provides a handful of benefits, especially with the unpredictable weather that Calgary faces in the winter months, says Kristina Plank, Excel Homes Marketing Manager.

Wendee Bishop, Marketing Manager and Creative Director

at NuVista Homes, agrees. “Our customers buy front attached garage homes purely for the convenience. In our climate, which can be very unpredictable, we can have hail, snow, heat and wind gusts all in the same week! Having an attached garage protects your family and your vehicle.”

There is a lifestyle component that remains important to many buyers, says Michael Klassen, Sales Manager at Jayman BUILT. “Convenience and safety of having an attached garage, as well as a typically higher square foot that is perfect for growing families. The larger mudroom coming from the garage, as well as larger kitchen and living spaces is very desirable.”

“The flexibility inherent in the design also allows us to offer more lifestyle options for buyers like a bigger bonus room upstairs, a more functional home office or den, or even adding prep kitchens,” says

Jerry Trgina, Marketing Manager at Hopewell Residential.

For over 30 years, Excel has been passionate about helping families find their perfect home.

“Our FDG homes range from 1,600 to 3,024 sq. ft. which allows for the option of adding extra space with either a legal basement suite or a loft, depending on the model and area,” Plank says. “We differentiate ourselves by providing FDG models that include threeand four-bedroom floorplans to provide versatility and room for growing families.

Calgary New Home + Condo Guide talks to homebuilders offering some of the most exciting new models in FDG homes currently, so house-hunting doesn’t have to be too much of a riddle. excel Homes

For over 30 years, Excel has been passionate about helping families find their perfect home. “Our FDG homes range from 1,600 sq. ft. to 3,024 sq. ft. which allows for “the option of adding extra space with either a legal basement suite or a loft, depending on the model and area,” Plank says. “We differentiate ourselves by providing FDG models that include threeand four-bedroom floorplans to provide versatility and room for growing families,” she adds.

“Our larger floorplans can include a main floor flex room, rec room, or bonus room and some of our models allow for the addition of a spice kitchen.”

NuVista Homes

The Collingwood was its bestselling model in 2020 and it’s easy to see why. “It has a floorplan that’s versatile enough to meet the varying demographics and lifestyles with a flexible main floor layout and the ability to add more bedrooms.”

FDG homes take up around 60 per cent of Excel’s production and they are adding more. “We have created brand new FDG models that are being released this year.” The Newbrook and Jasper models are sure to impress with their large and elegantly laid out floorplans, both are being released this month. The Jasper features four bedrooms and two-and-ahalf baths which Excel Homes is very excited to add to their line-up. “These new models are elegant and welcoming, with spacious open concept layouts – perfect for entertaining and for growing families.” Excel Homes’ FDG homes will be available in more communities this year, including Cobblestone Creek and Creekstone.

NuVista’s range of FDG homes range from traditional models just under 2,000 square-feet to over 2,600 square-foot estate homes and bungalows some even with triplecar front drive garages (depending on lot). One thing they all have in common is they are all designed for the family’s convenience.

“We make a conscious effort to create family homes that offer convenience to the homeowners,” Bishop says. “For example, many of our models have walk-thru mudroom to the pantry from the garage. This makes life easier for the homeowner when carting home groceries or children from after school activities. They often have built-in benches and lockers / hooks to help the family organized.

“We have also had many more requests for side entrances for multi-generational living. Having a separate side entrance combined with nine-foot lower level and large egress windows makes for a fabulous place for your aging parents or adult children to live and still have their own privacy.

It is becoming more and more popular to have your parents at home these days.”

Its most popular model is the 2,554-square-foot Sutton that offers four bedrooms with a main floor flex room, walk-thru mudroom to the pantry and has a bonus room that separates the kids wing from the master suite “Front attached homes make up for probably 75 percent of our overall sales,” Bishop says. Having the attached garage is important.

“When you live this close to the mountains the weather can be very unpredictable so having an attached garage is something most customers cannot do without.”

market. “Traditionally we see a larger share of laned homes being sold, heavily due to the large number of first-time homebuyers. However, over the past number of months, we have seen a larger percentage of (FDG homes) due to people moving up to larger spaces or taking advantage of this market to build their dream homes,” Klassen says.

Jayman BUILT has always been in the leading edge of Calgary’s homebuilding industry, and their compelling, stylish and functional FDG homes are a big part of their success.

“We have a wide range of front attached garage homes, from single car, double car and even triple car attached garages, ranging in square footage from 1,150 to 2,800 square-feet,” Klassen says. “Our bungalow products all include attached garages, as well!”

The wealth of options to choose from for the line of FDG homes is prodigious, including the current trend of main floor bedrooms, spacious ensuites and walk-in closets in the owners’ retreat, dedicated study spaces on the upper floor and even spice kitchens. “When you customize the basement, the sky really is the limit. Including more bedrooms and bathrooms, rec rooms, wine rooms, home theatres and gyms.”

Trico Homes

Trico’s front-drive garage homes vary in size from 1,943 to 2,902 square-feet, so there is literally something for everyone and every family, says Trico’s Schwartz.

“Traditionally most of our models come standard with three bedrooms, but one of our newest designs the Springhill model includes five bedrooms with an optional 2 bedrooms in the secondary suite, for a total of seven!” It’s the perfect choice for multifamily households and those wanting to let the home lend a hand in paying down the mortgage.

Trico Homes

“As families grow and require more space, a front garage home is the perfect option. Extra rooms and bedrooms for your growing family and extended family, attached garage to store all your toys and a place to protect your vehicles from the inclement weather, and also it allows the occupants to access the garage without having to go outside.”

Trico’s most popular model is the Oxford, at 1,943 sq. ft. and staring from the high $400’s. The Oxford was created with Trico’s most popular features from our top selling models. This home offers exceptional value, with the quality of craftsmanship and customer service you’ve learned to expect from Trico Homes.

kitchen, bath, fourth bedroom and secondary side entrance.

There are a variety of options that make this home truly unique, including having up to five bedrooms, says Trgina. “We have different configurations that can accommodate most wishes of our customers to fit their lifestyles” Other new models such as the smaller but equally diverse 1,718 sq. ft. Astrid are also adaptable to the needs of each family.

“Hopewell has moved to a place where we can offer more preplanned options that resonate with different buyer personas,” Trgina says. FDG homes make up more than half of their production and start from the high $500’s in their Mahogany lake community in the southeast, and in the $600’s in Arbour Lake West.
