Contemporary Farm Style House

This Modern Residential house is situated in Okotoks Alberta CA 2023

Total house area is 3546 ft2 (useful main floor and basement)  1340 ft2 (Barn).

9 ft ceiling height on each floor with 12 ft height ceiling in the great room.

The residence was conceived as lifetime house for couple, formed essentially by the main house with private space on the main floor and the guest and entertainment room in the basement.

The property also has the multifunctional barn with two bays for virtual golf gaming equipment. It is deemed to be as men’s cave feature.

Initially, the owner’s intention was to design the walkout basement with above deck and concrete patio and no barn location on the property. However, this ideas has been changes on more organically embedded option with wide spread structure appearance.

The gravel driveway links the different parts of the residence, the long way entry with native grown trees and shrubs vegetations seated on the uneven land and the far flat portion which starts from the natural drainage swale. From that relief frontier is planned to be a house and barn location. 

The long low succession of volumes is inserted into the farmland acreage environment, with generous glazing emphasizing the connection to the southern Alberta nature.

The idea to keep the main floor house gently lifted off the ground with their broad glazing and diversified with multi elevation structure shapes takes full advantage of the natural setting while disturbing the environment as little as possible.

Our crew has faced the most challenging stage in the designing process to incorporate the roof in a multi elevation structure and attached garage avoiding the errors and vulnerable spots for snow stuck.

The main roof is covered by asphalt shingles and emphasized with corrugated.

Overall, the single home is balances with 3 bedroom 3 bathroom and with versatile such rooms like theatre, wine room, secret office room, pool and fireplace rooms.
