BILD Alberta Award-Winning Full-Home Renovation

At Rusch Design Build, we believe that a home renovation is more than just a physical transformation—it's about reimagining a space to enhance the quality of life for its occupants. Our commitment to blending functionality, accessibility, and style is at the heart of every project we take on. This philosophy was at the core of our recent award-winning full-home renovation, which earned us recognition at the 2024 BILD Alberta Awards.

The renovation was not just about aesthetics—it was about improving the daily experience of the homeowner. By focusing on modern design elements, accessibility improvements, and incorporating the homeowner’s personal style, we were able to create a home that is as practical as it is beautiful. Below, we’ll walk you through the details that made this renovation a standout and earned us the prestigious award.

A Vision for Accessibility and Functionality

One of the key objectives for this full-home renovation was to significantly enhance the functionality of the space. The goal was to make it more accessible, while also ensuring that the design reflected the homeowner’s personal style and needs.

To improve accessibility, the main bathroom was widened by one foot to accommodate a wheelchair. This not only created more space but also made the area easier to navigate. The team at Rusch Design Build paid special attention to the details that would make daily life more comfortable. For instance, the installation of a curbless shower allowed for seamless access, and wider doorways were added throughout the home to provide easier passage.

In addition to making the space more accessible, we also set out to create a modern and visually stunning home. Our design team worked closely with the homeowner to select finishes, textures, and layouts that aligned with their personal taste, resulting in a balanced space that feels both practical and luxurious.

Showstopping Kitchen at the Heart of the Home

The kitchen was the crown jewel of this renovation—a true centerpiece that combines style, function, and innovation. The design of the kitchen was carefully crafted to serve as the focal point of the home, offering both beauty and practicality.

One of the standout features of the kitchen is the custom metal hood fan that adds a striking, industrial aesthetic. It blends seamlessly with the sleek, modern finishes and elevates the overall design. The countertops are Dekton, a high-performance, low-maintenance material that is both visually stunning and highly durable. Dekton’s resilience to stains, heat, and scratches makes it an ideal choice for a busy kitchen, where cooking and entertaining are a regular occurrence.

Additionally, we incorporated built-in banquette seating around the kitchen island to create a cozy, functional dining area. This seating provides ample space for family and friends to gather while offering additional storage, making it both a beautiful and practical solution for modern living.

Tailored to the Homeowner’s Style

At Rusch Design Build, we understand that a renovation isn’t just about making a space more functional—it’s also about ensuring that the design reflects the homeowner’s unique tastes and lifestyle. This was especially important in this renovation, where we worked closely with the homeowner to select finishes, colors, and design elements that resonated with their personal style.

Throughout the home, we incorporated a modern aesthetic with sleek lines, neutral tones, and pops of color that bring the space to life. The black Dekton countertops and custom metal hood fan are bold choices that serve as focal points in the kitchen, while the terrazzo tile flooring adds a sophisticated touch. In the main bathroom, the design reflects both accessibility and beauty, with thoughtful choices that cater to both the homeowner’s functional needs and their design preferences.

The entire home is a cohesive blend of modern elements and functional design, creating a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels comfortable and welcoming.
