The Eau Claire renovation project injects new life into an established but aged condo tower designed by SOM in Calgary's city centre. Our client purchased the unit from the original owner — nothing had been updated since the building was finished in the 1970s. With an impressive concrete and full-brick facade, the SOM-designed complex hid an amazing but rarely offered view of the city.
We dissected and reorganized the plan to open and unify the spaces — embracing the spectacular and rare view. Deep grey stone, white marble, and tinted mirror were used to breathe contemporary life into the space while keeping a bit of the smoky 1970s vibe.
