For the homeowners of New Valley Estate, the dream was clear: modernize every space while preserving the home’s beloved layout. What followed was a sweeping transformation of every room in this home – from the basement to the kitchen to the master retreat and even the back deck — blending warmth, sophistication, and seamless functionality into every corner.
Striking Elegance
Inside, the design story centers around custom walnut cabinetry, sleek black features and fixtures, and statement lighting. The kitchen, like most rooms in the home, retained its layout but underwent a complete aesthetic overhaul, including new light oak floors, top-of-the-line WOLF appliances, and LED strip lighting that frames every detail with care. The island, with its sleek waterfall edge, now hosts four seats and demands your attention with its high-contrast, high-gloss finish that effortlessly reflects light in the space; a design sentiment that is mirrored on the surface of the neighbouring casual dining table.


Hello To Asymmetry & Interest
In the great room, a tired and dated feature wall was reimagined into a multi-dimensional showcase. A new, modern, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with a bold black mantel sits between walnut-backed shelving, and two display areas – one for art, and one for the T.V. Overhead, a large wooden beam helps to anchor the space, while recessed lighting offers a balance of illumination across all three areas, creating depth and warmth. Only steps away, the new formal dining room graciously awaits up to eight diners to gather around. Featuring elegant draperies and five-star dining decor, the once-forgotten space is now a show-stopping centrepiece on the home’s main floor.
Royalty Worthy Retreat
Upstairs, the primary bedroom and ensuite underwent one of the home’s most impactful changes. By removing a dated three-way fireplace, the entire area opened up to light. An expansive 10mm glass shower, modern free-standing tub, floating walnut vanity with dual sinks and ceiling-high mirrors, and, a frosted glass water closet now define the ensuite’s spa-like feel. Elsewhere, a custom walnut makeup desk in the bedroom transforms previously unused closet space into a functional and stylish area for the queen of this castle to ready herself in style (in more ways than one)!


Bold & Beautiful Basement
In the basement, what was once an underutilized storage area is now a vibrant, multi-use retreat. A linear fireplace anchors the rec room, while a textured tile backsplash and floating shelves accent the stunning walnut wet bar. A 10mm glass door leads to a sleek new wine room, where feature lighting wows guests and makes a statement. A new workout area, refreshed guest suite, and a fully upgraded bathroom round out the basement’s complete transformation. So whether down here for a movie night, cold drink, sweaty workout, or a family game night around the pool table, our clients now have a basement they actually enjoy spending time in.
No Stone Unturned
Every space in this countryside home got a makeover, including the: garage, foyer, home gym (separated into a weight room and cardio room), laundry room, home office, mudroom, powder rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, stairwells and hallways. Custom cabinets throughout the house brought newfound function to nearly every space, while new lighting, draperies, and flooring polished off each room perfectly. Throughout the home, various natural materials and stone-like finishes were incorporated to help anchor the home against its natural surroundings and offer a touch of cool, modern sophistication.


Connecting to Nature
Outside, the renovation extended to the forest-lined backyard with a dramatic 5-foot deck expansion. A new vaulted gable roof and motorized screens give coverage, while a natural gas heater and wood-burning fireplace make this lounge area welcoming. Their choice of exotic Kayu hardwood finishes blend the structure beautifully into the natural landscape. Not to be missed is the giant Kayu boardwalk leading from the lower sunken hot tub area to a secluded firepit, turning the entire backyard into a luxurious retreat accessible from the kitchen, home office, and basement rec room.
A Stunning Transformation
Throughout every space, thoughtful upgrades to lighting, finishes, and spatial flow resulted in a home that feels not only modern and luxurious but also cohesive and deeply personal — a stunning tribute to the homeowners’ vision and lifestyle. New Valley Estate was a two-time finalist at 2024 BILD Calgary Region awards in the Best Whole Home Renovation and Best Bathroom/Ensuite Renovation categories.
