editor’s message “The purpose of life … is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
With every issue of Homes & Living, we endeavour to bring you inspiring features on living your best life – from enhancing your home to eating better and travelling more. Many people say, living your best life begins in the kitchen – the heart of the home. We agree, which is why we dedicated our June/July issue to this significant space. When the H&L team sat down to brainstorm ideas for names of our kitchen issue, we tossed around more than a dozen adjectives, but nothing quite fit, until we selected “ultimate” – the best achievable or imaginable – which precisely describes the feature kitchens in this stunning issue. These kitchens represent fulfilled desires – not dreams just beyond one’s reach. Each kitchen is a showcase of the latest trends in kitchen technology and design, but these styles will last longer than your typical trends. Contemporary European design is leading the popularity contest due to seamless, modular looks made from innovative high-quality materials that can be arranged to suit any floor plan. Bold colour accents – particulary in red and yellow – are also showing up in high-end kitchens around the globe, adding visual interest to clean, contemporary spaces. In addition to our ultimate kitchen showcase, we’re excited to announce our Inaugural Ultimate Kitchen Contest (page 63). You’re invited to vote for your favourite kitchen and be entered to win a fully automated coffee/espresso machine from Gaggenau. An overview of the participating kitchens can be found inside this issue, with a full photo gallery and complete contest details found on HLmagazine.com

Requests have poured in from readers asking for wellness-related articles to enhance our “Living” content. I’m excited to deliver on those requests by introducing our new column, Living Well, which takes you inside the retreats and studios, and brings you the latest research on exclusive wellness treatments and services so you can try before you buy. For our first Living Well article, new H&L contributor and registered nutritional consultant, Pamela Durkin, investigates the benefits of infrared therapy, deemed the “gateway treatment” by leading spa owners. Discover what’s behind the hype. We have also enhanced our Escape column, with help from travel expert and best-selling author Claire Newell. Claire’s goal is to empower people to travel. She says, “Travel is a way to connect with the world and become enriched by it.” Claire will be sharing her wisdom and best travel advice with H&L readers, beginning in this issue with her feature, “Great Expectations of London.” Whatever you’re passionate about, whatever drives you, whatever you desire – follow it! Pursue experiences that will enrich life, starting now. Sincerely,
Jessica Raymond, Editor

Timeless Interiors by Gaile Guevara
Understated walnut makes a bold impact in these modern minimalist kitchens designed by acclaimed designer Christian Woo A Space Worth Celebrating It’s an exciting time in kitchen design with the movement of people respecting food and caring more about their health. The kitchen is the heart of a home, a celebrated gathering place to create a healthy relationship with food. Thus, a kitchen should be beautiful and well-designed using honest materials. It should “feel” good.
An Artist Worth Celebrating Christian Woo’s work is a blend of the classic lines of Scandinavian furniture and the refinement of Japanese joinery. His attention to detail in his craft deserves recognition. His work is driven by his profound respect for craftsmanship and the nature of his chosen material. I have had the pleasure of watching his work mature over the years with his use of a singular material: walnut. Less really is more in the case of Woo’s designs; when one material is used on multiple surfaces, you really begin to appreciate it. Learning to use a material and make it impactful in a space means truly understanding and embracing it, as Woo has done.
Kitchens Worth Celebrating Woo looks at kitchens as more than just a series of cabinets on walls. He takes his knowledge of traditional solutions and looks at new ways to create spaces. The featured kitchens are great examples of surpassing convention while practising restraint and editing back the variation of materials.

Kitchen one features a beautiful 24-foot freestanding kitchen tower, the centerpiece of the home. It serves to create two distinct areas – the kitchen on the south side and the entrance on the north – while discreetly housing all integrated appliances and work areas. The custom-louvered vertical-panelled walnut screen enhances the distinction between the kitchen and entry without obstructing the views. The screen frames the working surfaces while light moves through it and bounces around room. Flush, streamlined details such as integrated appliances and pulls create a handsome kitchen that will look good for years, maybe forever.

colin james ...in his element
25 years of rockin’ bliss The walls of veteran blues guitarist and singer Colin James’ home studio are covered with mementoes spanning a successful 25-year music career. Between the Chinese motif sound panels hang some of James’ coveted guitars, including a vintage Martin acoustic, as well as framed gold records and accolades. The impossibly young-looking James points to a large canvas of blues master Muddy Waters. It was given to the artist following a 1997 CBC television special, Colin James Presents the Blues Masters. One of his most prized possessions is a Jim Keltnersigned snare drum head. It was gifted to James by the American drummer after he performed on the vocalist’s album Limelight. (Keltner is best known for his work on solo recordings with the Beatles’ George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr.) Another coveted souvenir is a copy of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s 1985 proof for his Soul to Soul album cover. “When I was 16, Stevie was in Regina and I phoned him to say I’d love to ask him questions,” recalls the 48-yearold musician. “He met up with me and since then, he [has been] a friend and mentor.”

A custom 3,100-square-foot home brings West Coast contemporary architecture to life in a Calgary heritage neighbourhood Park Modern’s location on a dramatic lot with abundant forest views inspired the homeowners to bravely pursue their love of West Coast contemporary styling despite Calgary’s colder climate. When custom home builder Alloy Homes invited the couple to collect photos of their design inspirations, images of floor-to-ceiling windows and elements of nature that exemplify modern, BC aesthetic caught their eye. They didn’t think it was possible in Calgary’s climate, but Alloy Homes encouraged them with the notion that anything was possible. “We back onto a green space and there is a forested area behind,” says the homeowner. “When you’re in the home you feel like you are looking out into a completely natural area.” The family dreamed of an open floor plan where, as parents, they were able to see their young children from every area on the main floor. They also wanted a home made for living. Their previous infill narrow home had a formal dining area that tended to function as a hallway to the kitchen, since it was rarely used. “We wanted to make sure all of the spaces were used daily, and that there was no formality to the dining or living spaces,” says the homeowner. While opening up to the street on the front, the home’s exterior connects visually to nature to the rear where it backs onto a hillside and ravine. This rare natural setting in an urban neighbourhood presented interesting design opportunities for Alloy Homes to meld the best of natural living with contextually appropriate styling.

Historical Luxury in the Heart of Cowboy Country
92
Words by Elizabeth Hak
A historically significant, show-stopping country mansion is restored to its century-old grandeur Settled comfortably near the banks of Fish Creek in Calgary surrounded by aspen groves and towering spruce, the Ranche, a stately Tudor Gothic revival home, looks much as it did when it was built over 100 years ago; the cheerful yellow brick exterior as welcoming to visitors as the wide wraparound deck. It’s a decidedly unusual setting for the birthplace of an empire that helped shape the ranching foundation of Alberta. William Roper Hull, a British visionary, and his brother, owned the Bow Valley Ranche where the home now stands. When the log home Hull was living in burned down, he enlisted the services of James Llewellyn Wilson to design a domestic showplace.
The Ranche was Hull’s headquarters as he combined cattle ownership and butcher shops to satisfy the growing demand for prime Alberta beef across the country. In 1902, Hull sold the property to Patrick Burns, a meat-packing, cattle-ranching baron in his own right, and one of the Big Four who helped finance the Calgary Stampede in 1912. Burns owned much of southern Alberta as his empire grew, and yet he chose the Ranche as his command centre. However, he never lived there. Upon Burns’ death in 1937, his nephew Michael lived in the home as he expanded the company’s dynasty. In 1950, Michael’s son Richard moved into the Ranche and made many changes. He added a tennis court, swimming pool and a large single-story addition. In 1973, much of the land around the Ranche was purchased by the Alberta government, which later became Fish Creek Provincial Park.
june/july 2013
Completed in 1896, the elegant two-storey mansion became known for lavish garden parties, excellent edibles and uppercrust English guests. A pleasing symmetry of double chimneys, triangular window gables and lovely architectural details helped enhance its grandeur without affecting its function as the hub of a working ranch. Inside, inviting sunlit rooms wrapped in rich wood mouldings and valances, delicately stencilled walls and cozy bedrooms on the upper floor mirrored the craftsmanship found on the exterior.
