Nestled in the Foothills of Alberta, this abode was the dream for a couple from Calgary, who were looking to combine the easy country life with the modern elements of the city.

这座住宅坐落在艾伯塔省的山麓，是一对来自卡尔加里的夫妇的梦想，他们希望将轻松的乡村生活与城市的现代元素结合起来。

In 2018, we were approached by our clients with a sprawling piece of land and a vision of creating a home that could blend both of their ideals. The Mera Studio team was given the challenge of combing a cozy farmhouse vibe, essential to one homeowner, with the clean, sleek elements of a contemporary city home, which was important to the other. Challenge accepted!

2018 年，我们的客户向我们提出了一块广阔的土地，并希望创造一个能够融合他们两种理想的住宅。Mera Studio 团队面临的挑战是将舒适的农舍氛围（对一个房主来说至关重要）与现代城市住宅的干净、时尚元素（对另一个房主来说很重要）结合起来。已接受的挑战！

By implementing full wall to wall windows and a metal façade, we were able to balance modern elements with familiar farmhouse details and warm wood tones on the interior. Making the view the primary focus was a detail that everyone could agree upon and the expansive windows allowed the living space to open up into the hillside. Pulling the colors and textures of the natural surroundings was key to making the home feel like it had always been there, a true farmhouse rooted in the simplicity of the landscape and rural life. In contrast, clean lines and smooth hard surfaces layered that city aesthetic into the space and framed the view of rolling hills and expansive rural landscape.

通过采用全墙窗户和金属立面，我们能够平衡现代元素与熟悉的农舍细节和室内温暖的木质色调。将景观作为主要焦点是每个人都能同意的细节，宽敞的窗户使起居空间可以向山坡开放。借鉴自然环境的颜色和纹理是让家感觉一直在那里的关键，是一座植根于简单的景观和乡村生活的真正农舍。相比之下，简洁的线条和光滑的硬质表面将城市美学融入到空间中，并勾勒出连绵起伏的丘陵和广阔的乡村景观。

Finding the right aesthetic balance and a design that our clients could enjoy for many years to come was not always a linear process, but ultimately this roost is a true representation of what can be achieved when two ideas meet in middle...and in this case, in the middle of a serene Alberta June grass field!

找到正确的美学平衡和我们的客户可以在未来很多年享受的设计并不总是一个线性的过程，但最终这个栖息地真正代表了当两个想法相遇时可以实现的目标......并且在这个案例，在宁静的艾伯塔六月草地中央！

Brief Summary: A new build residence on a picturesque surround of the Municipal of Foothills, located near Millarville, Alberta. This 5,500 square foot residence was inspired by simple rural forms and the use of raw materials. The home boasts many unique features from a beautiful, screened porch with patio and stunning views, to a year-round outdoor shower. A house on a hill, this design is not boastful. This is a home that favors simplicity and practicality. A home that looks like it has always been a staple in the vast landscape.
