10 Contemporary Elements for Every Modern Calgary Interior
Like every work of art (as we like to think), the modern and contemporary home has certain elements that really stand out and make the home feel more airie and spacious. It's no doubt that with limited space, we really want to make sure we squeeze every bit of beauty and simplicity out of it. If your home in Calgary has been feeling a little cramped lately and you think it's time for a redo, then you need to check out this article from FreshHome, and see what amazing things y
19 Incredibles Examples for Kitchen Design from @Contemporist
Who needs a restaurant when you have a perfectly good kitchen? That is.. if you're willing to cook. Many people we've talked to have said that they would eat at home more often, but the fact is that the kitchens in their current homes just don't cut it and therefore are not a real pleasure to cook and bake in (none of these people being Kubix home owners - by the way). It's been our mission as modern Calgary home builders to make sure that the home is not just a home, but an
This Button Will Control Your Smart Home
While the smartphone was once hailed as the hub for controlling all of your smart home devices, Amazon's Echo has shown with Alexa that voice commands are more intuitive.

Geofencing - A Home Automation Trend
Geofencing is a term you probably haven't heard of too often. It involves setting up invisible borders around an area (sectioning off parts) and using GPS tracking to to determine when an object or person (attached to that GPS, whether through a phone or otherwise) enters that area. When the person or object (etc.) enters that area, an app or a device can react in a variety of different ways. For example: imagine you wake up in the morning, leave the home to go to work, and j
Out-of-this-World Home Design Ideas
Everyone has that one friend that just goes nuts decorating their home. You know the drill: you walk in, a ficus is sitting in the corner, and a cat with two windchimes on either side of it is floating right above with two leopardskin couches and a crystal chandelier -- and to top it all off: a zen waterfall to make digestion just a little bit more pleasent. Yes, we all have at least one of those friends. But even this king or queen of decor has nothing on the folks from this
