Before & after · Calgary renovations

Before & After

The same rooms, before the work began and on the day of the reveal.

A renovation is easiest to understand side by side. These are real homes in Calgary and Cochrane, photographed before work started and again once finished.

Five projects, five ways of working: a full design-build, a downtown residence built as general contractor, a Rohit Homes show suite we project managed and styled, an unfinished basement turned legal suite, and a basement shown from its 3D design to the finished space.
