An original 1960 Bob Lewis Mid Century Modern home  owned by architect Richard Bernstein. TKL Design was thrilled to collaborate with Richard in shepherding this home and garden into a new century, all while respecting, honouring  and loving its heritage.

West Coast Inspired

In collaboration with the clients, a design developed which harmonized with the architecture, harmonized with the site and harmonized with the requirements of the family.  The “Design Process” was joyful and collaborative.

A garden Upgrade

We started with a sublime  15 year old garden designed by  BattersbyHowat. Our job was to respectively and thoughtfully upgrade the landscape by first accommodating the clients sculpture collection all while integrating the "new" design with the "pre-existing" jewel. By understanding the "design language" of the garden and by retaining all the large trees, site lines and grading, we gently revised the understory planting,  added to and expanded on existing courtyards,  walkways, fencing, entry gates and steps, positioned the sculptures into the new courtyards, and finally topped everything off with new landscape lighting. We hope the result is a garden that reflects and respects the pre-existing masterpiece.

Forest Zen

The forest is a magical place. Layers of green, calmness, stillness and serenity. This home sits adjacent to a forest. The design response was simple, keep it calm and serene.

A new build on Alta Lake: Proud to be part of a team that received BP (Building Permit) in record time, while meeting  environmental standards, navigating strict design guidelines, and staying tightly focussed on creativity and design innovation. An example: The Glass pool functions as a large skylight to the basement level below and reflects the sky and lake into the living room by way of the large open glass windows.
