A well designed home almost never plays it safe.

It mixes eras and goes bigger on scale than feels comfortable. Usually there’s one choice that makes someone ask “really?” Yes, really.

Every Tano Studio home starts with one question: who lives here? Everything else follows from that.

When we first walked into the Confluence House kitchen, we saw good bones: generous space, great light, and a lot of potential. What we envisioned was something warmer and more tactile, built around natural materials and made for how the family actually lives. So we reworked the layout, did the structural work to support it, and reimagined everything inside it.

The Confluence House. Another project designed by Studio Tano.

Same footprint, completely different experience.

The original plan worked. Then we asked how it would feel to live in it.

The shower is now a generous walk-through space set along the window, where a transom lets natural light in without giving up any privacy.

The double sink vanity sits in the centre of the room, which opens up the flow, and the tub finally has a corner to breathe in.

A dedicated makeup vanity is designed into the layout, so getting ready feels like a ritual rather than a rush.

This is what happens when a designer sees the plan before it’s built.

Most doors disappear into the wall. A curved door is the wall.

Curving a door means curving everything around it. Every hinge and frame has to be custom, that’s why you rarely see it done. But walking through one just feels different. It pulls you into the next room instead of just letting you in.

The Glass House, North Glenmore

The mood board behind our newest project as design moves from concept to construction.

Inspired by the elegance of 1920s France, this home reinterprets Art Deco through a contemporary lens. Stained glass, sculptural detailing, and refined materiality with an elevated, highly considered sensibility. Rather than feeling overtly period, the influence is woven subtly throughout, from arched exterior forms to a curved marble staircase inside.

Reeded cabinetry, aged brass hardware, and a warm limewash palette carry the detailing through every room, creating a home that feels sophisticated, collected, and timeless, where craftsmanship, proportion, and detail take centre stage.

Thinking about a renovation or custom home in 2027?

Bring your designer in early.

The earlier we’re involved, the more opportunity there is to understand the project properly, develop the design and make thoughtful decisions before construction begins.

It gives us time to explore the possibilities rather than work within the limitations of a construction schedule.

It also gives us time to coordinate with your builder, work through permitting and procurement, account for lead times, and plan the project into our upcoming schedule.

Every project has its own timeline. What matters is giving the design process enough time to support the project, rather than trying to fit the design around it.

If 2027 is on your radar, this is a good time to start the conversation. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @studio_tano

It’s easy to let designing a space and decorating it blur into the same thing. They’re closely tied, but they’re really two different jobs.

Design is what makes a space work. The layout, the flow, how it holds up to everyday life.

Decor is the layer you feel once you’re standing in it. The warmth, the personality, the details that make it yours.

Both earn their place. But the spaces that feel truly right are usually the ones where the design got figured out first. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @studio_tano

plaster, brushed silver and white sculptural accents — this is the material language running through The Drift House. Tactile, layered and lived in. Light was a major driver of the plan, shaping how these rooms feel as the day moves through them.

Foundation’s been poured, and we’re excited to watch this one take shape over the next few months. Stay tuned as the project develops. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @studio_tano

The Rift House, mid-transformation. Protective film still down, millwork going in, and a hundred small decisions getting made with the team.

Some of the best decisions aren’t always made behind a desk, but on site, talking it through in the space itself.

This part of the process isn’t shown enough. The ugly-beautiful stage — all bones, no finishes, but where every good decision actually gets made. Stay tuned for what it becomes. 🤍

The honest version of a day in the life 🤎 Don’t worry, we’ll still share the glamorous parts too, they make a good reel.

But most of the job is the stuff you never see: measuring twice, chasing lead times, catching the cracked slab before it reaches you, and holding the vision steady when the decisions pile up.

Not pretty. But it’s the whole reason the pretty part works. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @studio_tano

We’re proud to present the inspiration behind this project taking shape in West Hillhurst, in collaboration with @heavenviewhomes

Raw, quarried stone, warm vertical oak, and darkened metals come together in a material-led home you feel through its surfaces first.

We’re excited to document the process from the ground up. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @studio_tano
