Century 21 Bamber Realty Ltd. The #1 office in Alberta

The house utilizes a large bank of solar electric panels. The daily accumulated energy is fed into the “grid” and withdrawn as needed. This negates the use of batteries that have a short life span and end up in a landfill within 7-10 years. A gray water system uses bath and shower water to flush the toilets, reducing water consumption of the home by over 30%. Low volume Toto toilets compliment this system.

Other features that lower energy consumption include high R value insulation, low E triple pane, argon gas filled windows through out Solid core doors are used everywhere for sound reduction and the “feel” of it “Air-locks” on each entryway to reduce energy exchange with the outside. A high efficiency boiler using glycol to heat flooring through out the home A high efficiency forced air furnace to circulate air. Included on the forced air system is a steam injecting humidification system and ultra-violet air disinfecting system. Low voltage “smart” lighting through out.

Canadian honed slate was chosen for the beauty of the stone, as well as to reduce environmental impact. As well, beautiful, extremely durable and sustainable (plantation grown) solid Tigerwood was used for flooring, stairs and some cupboard doors. Cork was used in the kitchen galley for durability, and comfort for the feet.

GREEN HOME This home was “gutted to the studs” and designed to be as green as possible, leaving a very small environmental footprint for such a large home. The “bones” of the house were kept as they don’t build them this solidly anymore.

Other features for the luxury of it include: A water de-chlorinator removes chlorine so you never shower, bath or consume toxic chlorine. Commercial styled 6 burner Viking range with built in BBQ and dual ovens including an infra-red broiler and convection capability. A 1200cfm hood fan ensures a smoke free home. Sub-zero refrigeration and Miele Steamer oven.

A built in Emco-tech Delphi water alkalizing and purification system for drinking water is included in the kitchen. Each drawer in the home has soft touch auto return mechanisms, and each cupboard door has been fitted with dampeners to create silent closure.

Built in “Dual-Vac” vacuum system with dust sweep in the kitchen E-Key Biometric lock (same system used by banks and government security) to keylessly enter the home. Sophisticated centrally monitored security, fire and flood monitoring system Crestron sound system in most rooms and on the back deck. Home is pre-wired for home theatre and “smart home” technology.

A media room is also roughed in. The side mudroom is complete with 4 “lockers” helps keep the home organized.

The back entrance has been designed to accommodate a future hot tub by having dual showers installed. A “Nana-wall” usually seen in commercial properties merges the kitchen with the back deck and brings a new meaning to indoor/outdoor living spaces.

The attached garage is heated, has an oversized door that accommodates tall vehicles and has a very quiet side mounted door opener. There are two beautiful wood burning fireplaces located in the living room and media room.

A unique “non-combusting” fireplace in the master ensuite is state of the art.

This house has 4 bedrooms up, 5 bathrooms, a basement bedroom, cedar siding, new fence, wine cellar, weight room, easily accessible under-stair and crawl space storage areas.etc. Den/home office and media room have been created during this reno, as well as a laundry room in the basement.

Metro meets the Mountain

Metro meets the Mountain

High in the magnificent Rocky Mountain town of Fernie, this truly one of a kind home is a showcase of ingenuity, luxury and sheer style. Designed in conjunction with the award winning architectural firm, Leblond Partnership of Calgary, the concept of the house was inspired by the spectacular surroundings.

This bold architectural vision was created by bringing together an unlikely pairing of architectural ideas. The epitome of modern convenience and style is the urban loft, which reinterprets the expansive space of workshop floors into a stylish island abode in the archipelago of the busy city. A mountain chalet sits at the other end of the spectrum as a rustic getaway from the anxieties of the modern metropolis. Brought together, the result could be termed ‘mountain industrial chic’, a bold new luxury lifestyle concept that blends modern luxury and style with the bucolic purity of mountain living.

Entering the home a visitor is struck by the towering twenty-five foot

ceilings, which convey the overwhelming sense of unrestricted space. Floor to ceiling windows breathe life into the interiors with a flood of natural light. Strategic placements offer breathtaking 360 degree views of the staggering peaks and Elk River, separating the inhabitants from the untamed surroundings with only a veneer of glass.

As the sun circles the valley, inhabitants intimately experience the changing daylight as it streams into the home. True to the new architectural concept, the elements of the interior are composed of a unique blend of reclaimed old growth timbers, lustrous steel and polished concrete. Gallery lighting accentuates the simple and care-free ambience creating atmosphere of easy elegance.

Metro meets the Mountain Inhabitants can step out onto the sprawling, multilevel decks, built with exposed aggregate concrete and experience the crisp air, fresh scents and soothing sounds of the distant mountain forests. Enveloping the grounds, the zero-maintenance enviro-landscaping includes verdant woods, a seasonal creek, mature cedars and wildflowers.

Modern conveniences also abound. A custom built stainless steel gourmet kitchen and chef’s counter with bar are equipped with restaurant grade appliances to provide every amenity for the culinary enthusiast. Two master suites provide easy and luxurious comfort for inhabitants and are matched with spa inspired bathrooms.

Sophisticated radiant floor, in-slab heating throughout the house provides the most lavish levels of comfort.

The interiors are furnished with high grade leather furniture and handmade rugs from Nepal. A multi-layer art lighting system enhances numerous original paintings and first edition images by internationally renowned artist Gene Dwarkin, creating the perfect aesthetic complement to this inspiring and unique home.

A Piece of Alberta History

A Piece of Alberta History Own a piece of Alberta history. Past inhabitants had co-existed with the lands for the previous 2,000 years, drawing the waters of the Elbow River and finding shelter and sustenance in the protected valley environment. Archeological studies have revealed prehistoric native encampment sites in the area, four of which are culturally significant.

Elbow Valley is a historied natural landscape displaying the entire untamed splendor of the Alberta foothills. Rolling open meadows set against wooded slopes, with uninhibited views of peaceful river valleys fused with the dramatic vistas of the hills and Rocky Mountains. These lands are rich in history and beauty.

This magnificent home is in keeping with the invaluable history of the area, strategically located, and designed emotionally and architecturally with
