HEALTHY, ACCESSIBLE-READY SUITE DESIGN. CALGARY

Suites designed for every stage of life.

Secondary and Backyard suite designs that work for a parent, an adult child, a renter, or you. Research driven.

Two kinds of Suite Design:

Secondary or Basement Suite

Bigger windows to maximize daylight and egress; fresh air, warm floors and acoustics designed to minimize noise between floors.

Straight wide stair where possible in case a lift is needed in the future; a second door exit where the site allows.

Backyard Suite

Step-free at grade accessible suites so you can go step-free from lane to the bed.

Or, two-storey backyard suites above a new garage with lift-ready interior stair.

Every suite is designed to one standard, using best-in class practices attuned to Calgary’s Climate Zone 7A conditions: cold winters, hot summers, dry air, high UV, the occasional hailstorm or wildfire smoke day and in some locations, elevated radon.

Accessibility is a design choice not a code requirement.
