Garden Loft
An eclectic accessory dwellling in Calgary's historic Ramsay neighbourhood
Location Ramsay, Calgary Size 300 sq. ft Status Completed
Status Completed
A compact and youthful loft space that is in touch with nature
Nestled in the heart of Calgary's historic Ramsay neighbourhood, this small-scale second-storey addition was designed to accommodate the diverse and evolving needs of a growing family. The garden loft acts as the contemporary little brother of the existing historic century home, relating in form and material while still being youthfully distinct.
The garden loft, which resourcefully builds upon an existing garage structure, will be used as both a home office for a freelance professional and new parent and as a secondary suite for visiting family members. The main space of the garden loft, although compact, is open and adaptable to meet the client’s changing requirements over time.
A solarium at the top of the stairs in the southwest corner provides an intimate indoor/outdoor living space and a place for growing plants.
