La Casa Residence
Calgary, Alberta
A new home within a familiar address
A bungalow transformed from the roofline down.
La Casa Residence reworks an existing single-storey Calgary bungalow through a new main-floor layout, a larger building footprint and a completely reconsidered roof. The result has the presence and function of a new home while retaining the existing basement and established site.
Multiple gables break down the enlarged home into a residential scale. Brick, muted horizontal siding, warm vertical wood and dark window frames give each volume definition while keeping the overall composition connected.
Existing structure + complete redesign
Keep what works. Rebuild everything around it.
The entire main-floor experience
A larger main floor, revised rooms, added footprint and new roof create the function, daylight and identity of a new residence.

Design priorities
Make the transformation feel complete.
Create a new identity
A layered gable composition replaces the original bungalow profile and gives the home a distinct street presence.
Replan family life
The redesigned main floor connects kitchen, dining and living spaces while organizing private rooms more clearly.
Use the existing home wisely
Retaining the basement makes the transformation more efficient while the new main floor delivers a completely different experience.
