Astrid Residence
Calgary, Alberta
A bungalow made for its next chapter
More space, a stronger entrance and better outdoor living.
The Astrid Residence adds 49.66 m² to an existing Calgary bungalow while reorganizing the main floor around the owners' changing needs. The addition creates room for an expanded primary suite and supports a clearer, more comfortable relationship between the existing home and the new work.
A central covered entry, broad glazing and a material palette of charcoal siding, warm cedar and natural stone give the front elevation a renewed identity. At the rear, a covered deck extends daily living outside while remaining connected to the new interior spaces.
Existing bungalow + new addition
A larger home that still feels grounded.
The expanded living program
A new foundation, floor and roof create the additional space, while the covered deck and renewed entrance improve how the home meets the site.
