Minimalist Urban Sanctuary Rooted In Love

Located in Calgary, this 3,000-square-foot home was designed with longevity, comfort, and connection in mind. A reflection of today’s most elevated design trends, it remains deeply personal—crafted for DWK founder Katie Rioux’s parents. The result is a timeless yet tactile sanctuary, layered with meaningful details and grounded in refined simplicity.

From arched transitions and artisan-style finishes to a serene, cocoon-like primary suite, each space tells a story—designed for beauty, ease, and everyday living.

The DWK Difference

  • Arched architectural details creating softness 
  • Fluted tile and artisan textures for tactile richness
  • Thoughtfully layered finishes that feel livable
  • A loft style retreat for moments of escape
