Projects

At the front of the home, a 120 sq ft addition made way for a brand-new primary suite. This space was envisioned as a quiet retreat, calm, restorative, and filled with natural light. The primary bedroom balances simplicity with detail. Custom built-in wardrobes and integrated nightstands provide both functional and visual continuity, eliminating the need for additional furniture while maintaining a clean, intentional aesthetic. The ensuite bathroom is where the design truly comes to life.

• A custom vanity anchors the space with warmth and craftsmanship
• A walk-in shower becomes a focal point, designed to feel both open and grounded
• Cobblestone flooring introduces texture and a subtle organic quality
• In-floor heating enhances comfort, especially during Calgary’s colder months
• A carefully placed window allows natural light to flood the space, softening materials and creating a connection to the outdoors

Every detail was considered to create a spa-like experience without losing the home’s original charm.

At the rear of the home, a 72 sq ft addition transformed the entry into a highly functional mudroom designed for real life. This space was intentionally kept flexible, giving homeowners the freedom to adapt it over time. A large closet provides essential storage, while the open layout allows for future customization, such as built-in benches or additional millwork.

The standout feature is the flooring, a stunning terracotta-toned patterned tile that immediately creates warmth and visual interest. It sets a distinct tone upon entry, while still complementing the natural materials used throughout the home.

The mudroom acts as a transition point, seamlessly connecting the outdoors to the interior while maintaining durability and style.

One of the most meaningful aspects of this bungalow renovation was the decision to preserve the original hardwood flooring wherever possible.

Rather than replacing it, we carefully sanded and refinished the existing hardwood throughout the kitchen, bringing new life to the material while retaining its history. In the new addition spaces, we feathered in matching hardwood to create a seamless transition between old and new.

This approach not only honors the craftsmanship of the original home but also ensures continuity across the entire main floor, something that is often lost in large-scale renovations.

The result is a cohesive foundation that quietly tells the story of the home’s evolution.

The kitchen renovation focused on transformation without expansion. By working within the existing footprint, we were able to reimagine the space while respecting the home’s original layout.

Custom, site-built cabinetry forms the backbone of the design. Built specifically for this home, the cabinetry offers improved functionality while introducing warmth and texture through carefully selected materials.

Key features include:

• Custom-built cabinets with thoughtful storage solutions
• New countertops that balance durability with natural beauty
• An undermount sink paired with updated plumbing fixtures
• A full suite of new appliances integrated into the design
• Wood accents that add depth and organic warmth
• Vintage-inspired hardware that ties into the home’s character

The backsplash is a standout detail, a textured tile that mimics handmade pottery. It introduces subtle variation and artistry, giving the kitchen a tactile, lived-in feel.

New vintage-inspired lighting completes the space, adding softness and reinforcing the overall design language.

The hardwood flooring in the kitchen was also sanded and refinished, ensuring consistency with the rest of the home.

While the primary ensuite leans calm and restorative, the main bathroom takes on a more expressive personality.

This space was designed to feel playful, slightly moody, and full of character, without losing cohesion with the rest of the home.

• A teal/green tile brings vibrancy and depth to the walls
• A custom vanity was built to house the original seashell sink, preserving a unique and sentimental element
• Cobblestone flooring, in a different tone than the ensuite, creates a subtle thread of continuity while maintaining distinction

The result is a bathroom that feels both nostalgic and fresh, a perfect reflection of the overall project philosophy.

Beyond the major renovations, a series of smaller updates contributes significantly to the overall experience of the home.

A new window was added to the existing dining room niche, allowing more natural light to enter the space and enhancing the connection between indoors and outdoors.

A custom built-in was integrated into the dining/office alcove, creating a functional and refined workspace without disrupting the original layout.

Importantly, the living room and main dining area were left largely untouched. This intentional decision preserved the home’s original character and avoided unnecessary intervention where it wasn’t needed.

Throughout the rest of the main floor, fresh paint was applied to unify the spaces and create a clean, cohesive backdrop for the layered materials and textures.

What makes this Calgary bungalow renovation truly special is the way each space feels distinct, yet connected.

Material choices were carefully curated to create continuity:

• Cobblestone flooring appears in multiple areas, each time in a slightly different expression
• Wood tones and custom millwork provide warmth throughout
• Vintage-inspired details subtly reference the home’s era
• Earthy colors and textures ground the design

This layered approach results in a home that feels collected over time rather than newly constructed, an important distinction for clients who value authenticity.

This Haysboro bungalow renovation is a reflection of what’s possible when thoughtful design meets genuine respect for a home’s history.

By preserving original elements like hardwood flooring and a beloved seashell sink, while introducing new additions and modern functionality, we were able to create a home that feels deeply personal.

• The new primary suite offers a private retreat.
• The mudroom supports the rhythms of daily life.
• The kitchen invites gatherings and connection.
• And every detail, from tile selection to lighting, contributes to a cohesive and intentional whole.

For many Calgary homeowners, especially those in established neighborhoods like Haysboro, a main floor renovation with additions offers the best of both worlds.

Instead of relocating, you can:

• Stay in a neighborhood you love
• Preserve the character of an existing home
• Customize your space to meet your current needs
• Increase both functionality and long-term value

This project is a perfect example of how strategic additions and thoughtful renovation can completely transform a home, without losing what made it special in the first place.

At Pure Residential, we approach every renovation with the belief that homes should reflect the people who live in them, layered, meaningful, and built to last.

This Haysboro Revival Bungalow is a testament to that philosophy. It’s not just a renovation, it’s a continuation of a story, thoughtfully reimagined for the next chapter.
