Home Renovation Expenses - Accessibility Tax Credit (2016)

HarmonyHomeProjects

Home Renovations Tax Credit 2016

We have recently received many inquiries about home renovations tax credits and we have good news! 

The 2015 federal budget introduced a new home accessibility tax credit to help seniors, disabled Canadians and their families pay for certain home renovations, but it doesn't go into effect until 2016. So now is good time to start planning for 2016.

For more information visit: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/gncy/bdgt/2015/qa04-eng.html

Here are some great examples of renovations to improve accessibility and mobility:

Inspired Eclectic and Organic Style of Pacific Northwest

HarmonyHomeProjects

We recently completed a trip through Canadian Pacific Coast  (mainly inland British Columbia and Vancouver Island). During our trip we searched for an interesting architecture than can serve as an inspiration and a reference for future projects. 

With its lush forests, rugged coast and long rainy season, the Pacific coast has developed a style that is informal, organic, rustic and above all eclectic. 

Here, we noticed overlapping elements of architecture: 

  • Design as a tribute to nature makes use of an open floor plan and native materials--both significant elements of early regional Modernism 
  • The decor often reveals nuances of Japanese design or Scandinavian design
  • Clean-lines, light, natural materials, and neutral tones combined with bright colours

While the styles vary, sensitivity to the environment and a desire to accentuate the natural beauty of the region lie at the heart of almost every design 

We love this style here are some photos. Enjoy!

Urban Infills - How to Take Advantage of a Small Lot

HarmonyHomeProjects

As the cost of urban land rises and the space available for development is shrinking, building a new home in the city is becoming more of a challenge than ever before. However, there is still a great deal of opportunity for building a comfortable infill within the Calgary area.  By applying the skills and innovative design solutions, it is possible to build a modern and functional infill that reduces urban sprawl, the resource consumption and yields excellent rewards for the homeowner.

Here are some great examples of urban infills that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional:
