A BIG-IMPACT HOME ON

THE SMALLEST STREET IN CALGARY.

Perched on a scenic hill in Ramsay, this custom home was the result of true collaboration between builder and designer. Unlike most projects, there was no homeowner guiding the process — only a bold vision shared between Studio Felix and Ryan at Icon Developments. We set out to craft something beyond a standard infill; instead of a conventional, boxy structure with white walls and off-the-shelf finishes, we envisioned a home brimming with character, rich in detail, and filled with unexpected moments of delight. Our goal was to bring the timeless charm of a New York brownstone to the heart of Calgary.

From the moment you step inside, the home reveals its distinctive personality. A custom foyer tile inlay welcomes guests, setting the tone for the thoughtful design elements woven throughout. The powder room surprises with deep green jungle-print wallpaper, offering a playful contrast to the home’s more refined finishes. The kitchen — undoubtedly the hub of the house — features a curved island detail, brass pendants, and floor-to-ceiling custom millwork. Heated polished concrete floors add warmth (literally), while a seamless indoor-outdoor connection is achieved via windows that open onto an exterior countertop. Anchoring this cozy dining nook is a custom emerald green velvet banquette with channel tufting, illuminated by a black chandelier handcrafted in New Orleans.

Each element was meticulously considered, from the grand gestures to the smallest details, ensuring that the design feels purposeful, layered, and deeply intentional. The result is a home that strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and intrigue; a space where every detail tells a story, and every room invites you to linger.
