Custom Luxury Home Design, Shaped Around the Way You Live

For two decades, Andison Residential Design has created custom estate homes, acreage residences, luxury infills, and major renovations for clients in Calgary, across Alberta, and throughout Canada and the United States. Every home begins with an understanding of how you live, the site it will stand on, and the details that make it entirely yours. Because we intentionally partner with a limited number of clients each year, every project receives our team’s full attention, from the first site visit through design, permitting, and the start of construction.

A Note From Our Founders

Every home we design begins with a simple question: how do you want to live? For two decades and more than 500 homes, answering it well has been our life’s work.

We ask that question as parents, too. Raising our two children has taught us how a home really works for a family: the morning rush through the mudroom, the kitchen island where homework and long conversations happen, the quiet corner at the end of a busy day. We bring that understanding to every design, because your home is where your family’s most important moments will unfold.

Behind every commission is a team that knows how homes are actually built. Every drawing set is produced in-house, coordinated with engineers and consultants, and carried through the permitting process, so the builders and interior designers we work with across Canada and the United States can build from it with confidence.

We keep our workload deliberately small so the two of us stay personally involved in every project. You’ll know us by name, and we’ll come to know your family: your routines, your traditions, and the way you want to live. Being entrusted with a family’s home is a privilege we never take lightly.
