Studio North

As suggested by its name, the Slope Reno brings the beauty and rawness of the mountains back to the city.

The clients love spending their weekends on various adventures in the mountains, whether that’s hiking, biking, or skiing down the slopes. We brought that home. From spatial experiences to material qualities, the essence of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is imbued throughout the project. Curving geometry references trails, rock edges, and worn paths, rather than ornament. We also took inspiration from the forest understories and alpine landscapes in choosing the material palette, settling on muted greens that harmonize the warmth of wood with the coolness of stone. At the heart of the home, the kitchen millwork is conceived to read as a tree, guiding movement towards the more private quarters.

Through the renovation, the house has become a continuation of the landscapes this family returns to again and again.
