EDITOR’S NOTE
CHILLY WEATHER, HOT MARKET February is the coldest month in the city, and it is mighty chilly outside right now, but the housing market remains pretty hot. The Calgary Real Estate Board says demand remains strong due to the prevailing low interest rates. StatsCan’s report that Calgary’s population also grew two per cent last year also bodes well. This isn’t to say that everything is well. The COVID-19 lockdown certainly still affects the economy, a worrying rise in lumber cost posts another challenge, but the spirit in the city remains buoyant. Hey, Calgary still ranked among the Top 50 cities in the world, coming in at 47th just after Copenhagen and Tel Aviv. It’s the fourth-highest Canadian city on the list, following Toronto (13th), Vancouver (34th), and Montreal (41st), according to the latest survey by Resonance Consultancy. It just gives us all that much more hope for a brighter future. Speaking of which, Trico Homes latest townhome sensation – Parallel Bloc in Crestmont – dovetails right into this sense of optimism. Stylish, sensational show suites are now open, check out our cover feature for more. For this Valentine month, we also took a peek in master bedrooms, and we interviewed showhome designers to get their take on how to create compelling designs in this most intimate of rooms. Rachel Feddema and I also take a tour around Calgary’s infill communities for an update, and our Explore Cochrane feature tells of its charming western flavour that many have found so appealing that they now call it home. So chilly or not, Calgary is still the place to be.

FlexiBility is key in
Parallel Bloc by PePPer rodriguez
They may be the new kid on the block in Crestmont West but Trico Homes’ new townhome development– Parallel Bloc – promises a refined urban lifestyle in a nature endowed location in the southwest. Parallel Block brings the best in urban sophistication amidst the everyday beauty of southern Alberta’s majestic Rocky Mountains as a backdrop. “It is a place where nature and the best of urban living co-exist,” says area manager, Natalia Widomska. But what may be its best feature is the flexibility of its floorplans, a rare attribute in the townhome set. “The advantage to Parallel Bloc is its flexible living spaces and price point. There’s literally something 8 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
for everyone, including number of bedrooms, optional retreat spaces, fireplaces, developed basement, and select walkouts available. This project also includes a private central courtyard surrounded by scenic views,” Widomska says. “Our superb specifications are also a perfect match for those looking to affordably move-up or right-size in this desirable part of the city,” she adds. Phase one was recently released and Parallel Bloc is officially opening its two show homes on Saturday, February 13th. “We have begun taking appointments for private tours/ sneak peeks and the feedback so far has been very positive! Our show homes are beautifully
designed, and the groups that have come through have mentioned how great the flow of the homes is, and how spacious they feel,” Widomska says. Parallel Bloc will have 51 townhomes ranging in size from 1,387 to 1,546 square-feet. These are open concept townhomes with attached double garages and a developable basement. There are four floorplans available and include dual master bedroom, three- and up to fourbedroom models. Prices start from the mid $300’s. “We feature the Summit floorplans in both our showhomes – The End Unit has two master bedrooms, fireplace and a developed walkout

basement that includes office space and an additional flex room. The Mid Unit has three bedrooms and an undeveloped walkout basement. Both homes include an attached two car garage and large balcony.” Also available are The Retreat starting at 1,385 square-feet; The Haven from 1,387 square-feet; The Summit from 1,528 squarefeet, and The Latitude from 1,432 square-feet. Every townhome has nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, granite or quartz countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms, luxury vinyl tile in the laundry and full bathrooms, one-inch Venetian blinds in all windows, and a stainless steel appliance package. And much more. Crestmont West is the latest phase of the greater Crestmont community and the timeless appeal of this quaint, familyfriendly neighbourhood just off Highway 1 is a big part of Parallel Bloc’s success. “Crestmont is such a fantastic community, it has something for nexthome.ca 9

every lifestyle. It is located 20 minutes from downtown and it’s just 40 minutes to the mountains, and while the community itself is very quiet it has great access to nearby amenities where you can get everything that you need,” she says. Crestmont is just a little west of Canada Olympic Park and there are many recreational and shopping opportunities in the 10 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
area that community residents can take advantage of. It is in the desirable west side of Calgary that offers a secluded lifestyle with the perfect balance of work, play and natural greenspace. “On top of the great location, it is super family friendly! About 30 per cent of the community is made up of parks, green spaces, and connecting pathways – the community association offers a
splash park and an off-leash dog area for residents to use so there is always something to do!” The show homes are opening in February and interested parties can book an in-person, walkthrough visit but informative, virtual tours are also available. Trico Homes says they are observing all health protocols in their showhomes in keeping with Alberta Health guidelines.
Possessions Available Convenient west side living and elegant home designs make this beautiful, low maintenance, urban community a masterpiece in the making. With just 54 distinguished bungalow villas available from the $690’s, this exclusive new community sets a new standard in estate living.

Morena West: the snoWbirds’ nest by PePPer rodriguez
Travelling south for the winter has been a time-honoured tradition among Calgary’s retirees, but even snowbirds need a nest to return to. Morena West offers just the safe, secure and stylish homes that allow them to enjoy the lifestyle they deserve. Don and Deborah are among the new owners at Morena West, the elegant, distinguished and exclusive bungalow villas from Rockford Developments. And they fit quite nicely in the lifestyle it offers. “We were looking to downsize but still wanted enough space to welcome our family for visits,” Don tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. They say seeing the print ads for Morena West brought them to the showhome and they 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
were not disappointed. “We both love the open floor plan and enjoy cooking together in our very convenient kitchen,” he adds. “We were impressed with the layout and finishes and liked the well-established community in the southwest,” Deborah says. “We like the easy access we have to all amenities including parks, shopping, restaurants and leisure activities.” But most importantly is the freedom that owning a home here gives them. “We look forward to travelling when we can with the easy lock-and-leave aspect of the community,” she says. Morena West is a private community of luxury bungalow villas. There are 54 units in total
and demand has been so strong that there are only eight brand new units left, says Marlo Schaaf vice-president for operations at Rockford Development. The functional simplicity of the bungalow villas has made it a hit among the downsizing crowd, and Morena West’s stylish spin and desirable location has made it all the more popular. Its relative affordability has also been a big factor in its success. There are two floorplans available, a level lot layout and a walk out unit. “There is only one walk out unit left,” Schaaf says. The main floor layouts are all the same with two bedrooms, but there are two lower level development options. Option A offers a partially

developed basement that includes a family room a bathroom and an additional bedroom and offers an additional 770 square-feet. Option B offers a fully developed basement with a family room a bathroom a flex room and two additional bedrooms and offers an additional 1,129 square-feet. The main floor has 1,470 square-feet, and they all have double attached garages Rockford’s ability to offer the stunning bungalow villas at a more affordable price has also proven irresistible to buyers. “Our units start at $690,000 plus GST. And the developed basement options will add only about $39,000 for Option A, and $56,450 for Option B. Currently we are offering a $25,000 credit towards
the basement development of your choice,” Schaaf says. The convenient west side living and elegant home designs it offers make Morena West a masterpiece in the making. This exclusive enclave offers convenience and serenity, where you can enjoy the rewards of success and freedom. “We are located off 69th Street S.W. and near Highway 8, which is one of the most convenient and accessible locations in the city,” Schaaf says. “There are plenty of amenities nearby including the Westside Recreation Centre, the Aspen Landing Shopping Centre, and the 69th Street LRT Station, and many more. You’re also that much closer to a weekend mountain getaway.”

YYC HOT CHOCOLATE FEST
Sanctuary Coffee
Hexagon Board Game Cafe
What’s Happening For the last decade Calgary has been celebrating the coldest month of the year with the most heartwarming event: YYC Hot Chocolate Fest! This year marks it’s 10th anniversary and now more stores are participating. “YYC Hot Chocolate Fest takes place over the entire month of February at cafes and restaurants across our beautiful city!” says Robyn Weatherly, marketing and communications
Bite Grocer and Eatery
coordinator for Meals on Wheels, the organizer of this beloved city-wide event. She says it’s unlike any other event as it can be held safely because it does not bring in large groups in one location, and this year she expects over 70 locations to participate. “Each business will have at least one unique creation to share! This year, we do have a few businesses participating that are located outside of the city limits.” Go to hotchocolateyyc.com for the participating locations.
Mark 101 begins final building Mark 101 in Sage Hill is approaching the final stages of its development, as construction begins for the third and final building of this landmark condo development from Shane Homes Multi-Family. Brooke Hawco, sales associate at Mark 101, says this final phase will have 17 floorplans including onebed, one-bath to two bed-two bath suites. “There is a lot more choice for buyers and they can find one that is just right for their lifestyle,” she tells Inside Calgary. 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
“Homeowners can make their suite their own with the ability to mix and match endless options of customizable finishes, and our interior selections are all brand new with a bright, clean contemporary look,” she says. Suites are from 613 to 946 square-feet and start from the mid $100,000s. “We also have a new show suite that can give visitors a taste of the lifestyle that one can enjoy in Mark 101, as well as to see the amenity-rich area in this rapidly developing northwest
community,” she adds. For more information and to book an appointment to tour the new show suites, got to www.shanehomes.com/multifamily-homes/mark-101.

DID YOU KNOW?
The coldest temperature ever recorded in Calgary was -45°C (-49ºF) in February, 1893.
Capella opens new show suite Brookfield Residential is starting the year with a stylish bang, as the renowned developer and homebuilder opens its new Capella show suite at the University District on January 30. Although Brookfield Residential does have an existing presentation piece for Capella at the University District’s Discovery Centre, the new show suite is located in Capella’s first building itself and gives a much better insight into the lifestyle this singular development has to offer.
The new show suite brings Capella’s Estate Single Level Residences to life, as the Vela – a 1,644 square-foot two-bed, two-bath plus flex room model - details the enormous possibilities that life here can bring. “Capella’s doing really well and it is over 50 per cent sold already, the new show suite will certainly bring more interest,” Brookfield Residential marketing manager, Justin Castelino, tells Inside Calgary. Capella offers both condos and Estate Single Level Residences, with the former starting from the high $200,000s and the latter from the mid$600,000s. Tours are available by personal appointment, go to https:// capella.brookfieldresidential.com/home to learn more.
SOLA is so cool The future is now in Kensington, as the much-awaited SOLA condos brings tech savvy living to the modern urban home. This nine-storey building going up in this popular northwest inner-city community has enjoyed strong demand and sold out of the first release of its 172 units. “We are launching the second batch of sales in February, as demand has continued to be very strong since day one and we sold out of our initial release,” says Harish Consul, President & CEO of Ocgrow Group of Companies, SOLA’s developer. SOLA is Calgary’s first multi-family development with Amazon’s Alexa/Echo smart devices and a SOLA smart hub built into every unit with the fastest Internet speeds in Alberta. That’s just one of the many
features that makes it one of Calgary’s best suited homes for the future. Go to solacalgary.com for more information. nexthome.ca 15

Infill developments have been a staple in Calgary’s inner-city communities since the ‘70s. But in recent years, the number of lots being redeveloped for infill housing has been gaining momentum, as more homebuyers rediscover the charms of living in an established community. How are infills changing the city, why are homebuyers choosing to purchase infills, and where are Calgary’s infills being built now? We attempt to give a few insights into this growing trend. A new VoiCe
Infills can take a variety of forms. The Calgary Inner City Builders Association (CICBA) defines an infill as “the process 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
or development of a vacant or under-used land within existing urban areas that are already developed.” It includes demolishing an existing building and replacing it with something new or developing vacant lots in existing neighbourhoods. Building time for an infill ranges from eight to 24 months, depending on the size, complexity of the design and any possible delays with funding or permits. The CICB is a non-profit organization that aims to give a bigger voice to infill builders and developers. They are a relatively new voice founded only in fall last year, but they are working to improve Calgary’s already established communities,
promote the benefits of redevelopment, create affordability in the industry and establish credibility and accountability. “We believe that we can create affordability in infills by cutting red tape in the processing of applications,” CICBA chairman Shameer Gaidhar, tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. Addressing CAlgArY’s growTh goAls
Nearly all of Calgary’s population growth has been in new communities on the outer edges of the city which require investments in infrastructure and city services. In 2009, the City of Calgary Municipal Development Plan (MDP) set out
goals for aggressive growth within established communities to make better use of existing land, reduce the cost of City services and locate Calgary residents closer to work, recreation, and service hubs. By 2069, Calgary aims to have 50 per cent of population growth occurring within developed areas, which is defined as the inner city and established communities that were completely built out in 2006. As reported in the City of Calgary’s most recent draft of the 2020 MDP & CTP (Calgary Transportation Plan): “Between 2009-2019, Calgary’s population increased by nearly a quarter of a million people, with 10 per cent of growth being accommodated in built-out neighbourhoods, and 90 per cent in new communities on the outer edges of the city.” The City has set an interim goal to have 33 per cent of Calgary’s future population growth within developed areas by 2039, which means many more new homes will need to be built within established areas

in the city in the coming years. The redevelopment of land for large condo complexes in the inner city is one component of meeting this goal but infill houses have a role to play as well. Building more infill homes provides inner city housing options for homebuyers who are not interested in condos and seek larger family style homes. Redeveloping a lot that has one single-family home and replacing it with a duplex that can house two families will increase the number of residents living within a neighbourhood block, potentially doubling the population in a neighbourhood over time. Infills are not a new solution within Calgary’s home market even though they are now a core component to the city’s sustainable growth. Since the 1970s infills have been built in Calgary’s communities, says Richard White, a respected local journalist and blogger who keeps tabs on Calgary’s redevelopment. “Thanks to a strong (urban
core) and lots of amenities in the downtown, living in Calgary’s inner city is very attractive,” he says. He cites for example that living in the inner-city benefits in shorter commutes and access to more amenities. So, what continues to drive most people to purchase homes on the outer edges of the city? Likely lower pricing, larger lots, and the convenience of purchasing a brand-new house in a new community. Can infill builders complete with this draw? infill liVing in CAlgArY
For many individuals, couples, families, and downsizers, infills present the best of both worlds. Developed communities have more school options, community centers, retail and business centers, parks, and mature trees that most new communities lack. While new communities on the outer edges of the city have longer commute times, with less public transit options, and often, fewer options for urban comforts like meal deliveries and ride sharing services. CICBA’s Gaidhar says it is the cost of building infill homes that deter many from this option. “It’s the higher land cost that is affecting demand, but among our organization’s goals is to bring this cost down by streamlining the application process.” In terms of lot sizing, infill homes are limited by existing space, which may be a drawback for an individual looking for a large backyard. For infill homebuyers, creative use of front yard space, custom design of backyard features, and accessing nearby public parks and recreation spaces may be an alternative. Building An infill home

also provide a stable of highly qualified, certified professionals. Infill buyers are typically only limited by their imagination as far as design goes, and budget of course. The ability to have greater customization allows homebuyers to design their home to fit exact preferences and needs. There are also many new trends in infill design that allow these homes to be more accessible to a larger variety of homebuyers. Alex Wang from Gold Homes, a custom home builder in Calgary since 2008, explains that units with legal basement suites or backyard suites are trending. “With low rates these days, a working couple may be able to own an infill, it used to be a far reach, but now they can rent out the basement with separate suite for mortgage help.” There is also the opportunity to build with more environmentally friendly options, energy saving materials and green design features reducing the environmental impact and often providing homeowners with utility bill savings. There are other perks to consider an infill investment that might not be initially apparent. White lives in an infill and found that because he does not have a six-foot fence between his and 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
his neighbour’s property, he’s enjoyed having more interactions with the neighbour children, who come by to play or “sometimes they just want to give us a hug before they go to bed. Priceless…” Top CommuniTies for inner-CiTY infills
House hunters who are considering purchasing or building a new infill have many great inner-city communities to consider. Here are our top 5 picks: KillArneY-glengArrY, sw
A hotspot for trendy restaurants and community gardens, there is a surge of infills in this community. Many young Calgary families have moved in as there are two elementary schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of community playgrounds and recreation centers to enjoy. AlTAdore, sw
With easy access off Crowchild, Altadore is less than 15 minutes from downtown Calgary, just south of the trendy Marda Loop, and right next to the parks along the Elbow River. It’s a very convenient place to live within Calgary and it’s hard to find a street within the community that doesn’t have a recently completed infill, or one under construction.
wesT hillhursT, nw
West Hillhurst is very accessible to public transportation, close to Kensington and the river pathway system. West Hillhurst has a very engaged community organization with a long history of fostering community cohesion and development. With several public schools, this community is an easy pick for young families. CresCenT heighTs, nw/ne
Crescent Heights is well situated with the downtown core and easy access to the Bow pathway to the south, and a straight route west to the mountains with 16th Ave NE to the north. Plenty of greenspaces, and close access to other hot spots like Bridgeland and Kensington make this a sought-after area. BridgelAnd & renfrew, ne
Bridgeland is very popular due to the proximity to downtown, easy transit access, plenty of trendy shops and proximity to the river. It has been a hot area for redevelopment as one of Calgary’s redevelopment zones. Renfrew is an up-and-coming area for infill development because it’s close enough to the action in Bridgeland that you could walk over and access all the amenities.

NEWS | TRICO WELLNESS CENTRE
TRICO HOMES RENEWS PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRE Trico Homes builds communities in more ways than one, and the renewal of its naming sponsorship agreement with the Trico Centre for Family Wellness recreation facility is yet one more way that it gives back and supports the community. On January 27, Trico Homes announced the renewal of its naming sponsorship agreement with Trico Centre for a second 10-year term. It follows the $1.5 million naming sponsorship it signed with the vital recreation facility in 2008, and they are now the first to renew their commitment with another $2 million investment to create a 20year strategic partnership. Trico Centre is a non-profit, community-operated fitness and wellness facility located in South Calgary that operates with a unique community partnership model by working directly with 34 South Calgary Community Associations. Trico’s placemaking approach has helped to create a welcoming community where people come together to find connection, happiness and enrich their well-being.
“Hearing that Trico Centre opened its doors on this day 38 years ago, we couldn’t think of a more fitting day to begin the next chapter of this community partnership,” says Wanda Palmer, VP Marketing for Trico Homes. “The Trico Centre is so much more than a recreation facility; it is a place that brings people together from all ages and backgrounds and encourages community connections through fitness and wellness activities. It is amazing to see how big this tight-knit community has grown, and we look forward to supporting family recreation and healthy lifestyles in Calgary for another 10 years.” “We are so pleased that Trico Homes is renewing its naming sponsorship for another 10year term,” says Sheryl McGie, Acting General Manager. “Both Trico Homes and Trico Centre operate with many of the same values and goals in creating communities full of healthy and vibrant residents, and we are so proud of this partnership. At Trico Centre, we are able to provide many opportunities for all types
of wellness and have been doing so for the last 38 years! With the support of Trico Homes, we will be able to continue bringing unique and engaging opportunities to people for another 10 years, and beyond.” Sponsorship dollars will be designated for future capital expenses and facility improvements. Like all recreation facilities in Calgary, Trico Centre remains closed currently as mandatory provincewide restrictions remain in effect to limit the further spread of COVID-19. Go to www.tricocentre.ca for more information.

3 Exciting New MIxed-Use CoMMUNItIes in Calgary Trinity Hills
University District
cody BattErshill
Calgary’s residential market is seeing a handful of creative new mixed-use communities pop up in locations that aren’t on the city’s brim, all with impressive master plans to say the least. Let’s talk about a few of those up-andcoming neighbourhoods and what they have to offer potential buyers, shall we!? TriniTy Hills – sW Calgary
Trinity Hills is an exciting new mixed-use community located not too far north of the West District at the base of the escarpment where you’ll find Canada Olympic Park. Find high-end townhomes starting in the $470s set amid an amenityrich “town centre” that will feature Goodlife Fitness, Save on Foods and Mountain Equipment Co. as three debut tenants. Beat all the traffic and escape to the Rocky Mountains in just minutes, or head to work in the city centre and get there in a relatively short drive. WinSport’s facilities are also just a short walk away from Trinity Hills and include state-of-the-art fitness centres and provide several other recreational opportunities.
University District already has several townhome and condo buildings completed with listings on the market, and its central amenity corridor is beginning to take shape. Found just across the way from Market Mall, the University of Calgary and Foothills Hospital, the University District is an ideal neighbourhood for a wide range of buyers including young professionals and empty nesters. WesT DisTriCT – sW Calgary
A section of land that corners Old Banff Coach Road and 85th Street SW in the sought-after community of West Springs will bring thousands of new multi-family units and exclusive single-family residences to the southwest. Called the West District, this new mixed-use neighbourhood will feature a main amenity corridor, a central 8.4-acre park with a pond, and an “employment and innovation hub”.

The Fusion in Legacy by Calbridge Homes
Pillow talk mastering the master bedroom design by PePPer rodriguez A good chunk of our lives is spent sleeping so it only makes sense that our bedrooms look and feel as comfortable and pleasing to the eyes. It takes even more importance these days when – heaven forbid – one gets sick and needs to isolate in the bedroom. Whatever the case, the master bedroom provides the respite and privacy the homeowner needs. The retreat from the everyday grind that provides rest for our tired bodies and souls. Notice the attention lavished on the room the next time that you visit a 32 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
showhome and you will see the invariable hook of inspired design aimed at eliciting an emotional response. A response so powerful that we want to have it for our own bedrooms. We talk to a few experts on how they approach designing master bedrooms in the showhomes they design, to find out what is essential and what is needed to complete a stylish, serene look, no matter the size of the room. Ariana Kelly, marketing manager at Calbridge Homes, has been around showhomes most her
life, and has picked up a thing or two about decorating a home for the most visual impact. But at Calbridge Homes, she says it all starts with the floorplan. “Where the master bedroom is physically located in the home as it relates to the rooms around it is really important to consider. In our designs we really strive to foster a decent separation between the master and the children’s bedrooms. Whether that means having a central bonus room dividing them on the upper floor or having the laundry room and

walk-in closet create some space between them, it’s always an important consideration for us to offer as much privacy for the master bedroom as possible,” she says. “We use the word ‘retreat’ a lot when describing our master suites because we truly want it to be a relaxing and rejuvenating space. In terms of the design of the room itself, large windows and seamless access to the ensuite and walk-in closet is something you’ll see in every one of our homes.” Style sets the tone though, and NuVista Homes has mastered the look of the master bedroom for their wide range of single-family homes. Pam Stordy at Barr Design and Tina Nielsen at Xibit take care of decorating NuVista’s showhomes and both know the importance of getting the emotional tone of the master bedroom just right. “The most important thing is creating a comfortable and peaceful space. Sleep is so essential to our health so just the idea of relaxing and being able to shut down in a room you enjoy is very appealing,” Stordy says. Nielsen agrees, saying that furniture placement within the room is the obvious starting point, with the bed becoming both the focal point and anchor of the room. “And let’s not forget about the mattress… (the room) can look fabulous, but without a great mattress, you will not want to spend any time there.” They both emphasize the need for good lighting and the comfort of a cozy carpet. “It can start with a dramatic overhead light, paired with bedside
lamps that provide ambient or reading lights,” Stordy says. “While underfoot we want softness, we love a luxurious area carpet on a solid surface flooring or plush broadloom to keep the space warm.” “Ideally, this space is cohesive with the design style of the other spaces in the home but needs to be sanctuary,” Nielsen adds. “As for design style, much of this is determined by your personality and favorite colours and style such as traditional, contemporary or transitional.” The essentials are pretty much the same regardless if it’s a master bedroom in an estate home or a townhome, it’s just a matter of scale. Katherine McCallum of Kalla Interiors has been the go-to designer for StreetSide Development’s many projects and she is quite fond of her latest work in their new townhome showhome in the lakeside community of Harmony just west of Calgary. nexthome.ca 33

Called Harmony Peaks, they are the first townhome development in what has already become the most prestigious community in Springbank. “The master bedroom needs to be a space that is inviting and comfortable. The bed is the focal point drawing you in with design or colour. In the case of Harmony Peaks, the Mid-Century walnut bed with attached floating nightstands stole the show,” McCallum says. She says another thing she has going here is creating visual interest though a feature wall. “Feature walls - usually a headboard wall - adds depth, simple statement artwork can go above a shorter headboard. A grand tall headboard will be a feature in itself and can be a fun or interesting colour/ fabric or leather.” According to Calbridge’s Kelly, large windows are also key in creating the ambience of the master bedroom. But drapery definitely plays a role in establishing the look, not to mention creating privacy. “While we definitely appreciate large windows and natural light, privacy in a bedroom is also paramount, so window coverings are certainly important. You of course want to choose something that visually compliments the colour theme you’ve chosen for the space, but it needs to be functional as well,” Kelly says. At NuVista, Stordy and Nielsen use fabric as a jumping off point to determining the style and design of the room. “In the master bedroom we want to create serenity, so lux, soft neutral fabric is what we look for and add color through toss pillows and throws,” Stordy says. “Window treatments create a softness to the room, both visually, acoustically, and as well as a utilitarian use. We recommend black out blinds or draperies so that you can achieve complete 34 New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021
darkness invoking peak melatonin levels which promote a healthy sleep,” Nielsen adds. Kelly adds that Calbridge’s master bedrooms are further equipped with unique ceiling details that give it an elevated stature. “Unique ceiling details are a feature we love to show in our bedrooms. Incorporating a boxed-up or vaulted ceiling, coupled with a stylish chandelier over the bed adds so much personal style and luxury to the space. Having the bedroom drop down a couple of stairs is another great way to add some subtle visual interest to the room,” she says. McCallum has some some sage bedroom design advice. “It is all about textures and layers of fabrics. Also lighting is key; make sure lamps are not taller than your headboard, and choosing the bulb can just be as important - warm yellow can bring a sense of natural light. Or go for wall sconces that are adjustable for reading.” NuVista’s Stordy and Nielsen also have this to say: “Ensure you have everything you need to create your own retreat; bed, lighting, window covering and bedding. We typically start by finding a fabric or a duvet cover we LOVE and design the space around this,” Stordy says. “It is always our springboard for design,” Nielsen adds.

Every year, the design world and decoristas everywhere await the announcement from Pantone declaring the Colour of the Year. Pantone’s astute colour selection influences product development and design decisions from fashion to home furnishings. For 2021, Pantone has chosen not one but two colours to encapsulate the new year: The calming shade of Ultimate Gray 17-5104 and the vibrant yellow colour Illuminating 13-064. These two colours could not be more opposite, and that is precisely the point. “The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with vibrant yellow illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Practical and rock-solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a colour combination that gives us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.” Whether you plan to incorporate both colours or just one, here are some simple ways to infuse the hues into your lifestyle.

Heartland by Apex Developments is just one of the dynamic, young communities that have made Cochrane so appealing to new home buyers, especially young families. There is also La Vita Land’s Fireside and The Willows in south Cochrane; Precedence at Riversong by Tamani; Sunset Ridge by Melcor Developments; and Rivercrest by Qualico Communities. All are relatively new communities where buyers can find a home to fit their lifestyle at an affordable price. Cochrane’s Main Street in the downtown is perhaps its most famous landmark, but for those unfamiliar with it, Nichole says there is more to enjoy in this Western Heritage town than just McKay’s ice cream.

With its blend of authentic western heritage and modern amenities, sitting on the gateway to Kananaskis and all the recreational opportunities it presents, as well as the everyday majestic views of the Bow River and Rocky Mountains that never get old, the Town of Cochrane is truly like no other. Throw in an ever-increasing variety of new housing options and you’ve got the makings of a great little community to live in. Which makes it easy to understand why so many new residents – already close to 30,000 - and businesses are flocking here year after year. But despite its rapid growth, Cochrane’s smalltown charm and tight-knit community spirit are what residents love so much about it. Nichole Holden, who moved to Cochrane’s young community of Heartland in 2013 says this is what drew her here. “I come from a small town in central Alberta and I grew up with this strong sense of community, and this is exactly what I found here in Cochrane, particularly in Heartland. This is where I want to raise my family,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. The developer takes good care of the community and even installed a temporary ice skating rink this winter, and they are hopeful to bring it back for future seasons, she adds.

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park Grpf.ca Glenbow Ranch is 3,200 acres of native fescue grassland and an active cattle ranch. Enjoy stunning vistas, rolling hills, and spot the occasional cowboy as you explore nearly 40 kms of paved and shale path. But Nichole says enjoying nature in Cochrane is even easier. “You can just go out your backyard and hit the pathways and trails around the neighbourhood and you’re already surrounded by nature,” she says. “The recent opening of the pedestrian crossing to the river from Heartland makes this even much easier and enjoyable.” shop
Horse Creek Heritage Candy and Gifts Horsecreek.ca This old-fashioned candy shoppe along Main Street is a quaint throwback to the town’s pioneering history.
