Case Study | The Bergen Residence

The Bergen Residence, inspired by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, embodies his principles of organic architecture, seamlessly blending with its natural environment while fostering a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior.

Designed with a main floor and basement, the home integrates into the site, complementing rather than overshadowing its surroundings. The floor plan is thoughtfully crafted to balance openness with privacy, offering a functional layout that caters to modern living. The main floor includes essential living spaces, while the basement provides additional bedrooms and recreational areas, making it ideal for both private relaxation and family gatherings. The exterior showcases clean lines, wide eaves, and a low-pitched roof, reflecting Wright's iconic Prairie style.

As part of a larger property design, and in conjunction with the DJB office, the Bergen residence holds particular importance in our firm's design history. This was the chance for our firm to authentically realize and experiment with many of its architectural ideas, revolving around prairie architecture and site integration. A private residence on 40- acres, the project became a philosophical exploration between nature and architecture.

At DJB, architecture begins with place. The prairie landscape, its scale, light, and horizon, continues to shape how we think about design in Southern Alberta. Our own office is a built expression of that approach, designed in response to its site and surroundings.

Case Study | Brio Salon Spa

We were approached by Brio Salon to rethink their business’s storefront. Facing Lethbridge’s busy 3rd Avenue, there was an urge to differentiate their retail from the rest of the street. The task was to do an uplift of the street facade that would gather more attention for the business in a meaningful way, that could also somehow express the essence of the service.

The decided approach was to simplify and reduce the elements of the facade for a bold clarity that would catch client attention. What satisfied these requisites was a two part composition, which consisted of continuous storefront windows along the sidewalk, and a floating screen wall above. The floating screen became an abstracted pattern of an aspen grove, which was curiously reminiscent of mid-century modernist aesthetic.

A spirit of simplicity allowed for a modest design to enmesh the likes of art, architecture, and industry together.
