Homes, composed in light.
Residential Design & Architectural Visualization · Calgary
A small studio for the quiet business of designing homes, and the images that bring them to life.
Bonavale works in two disciplines. We design private residences for clients in Calgary and the Canadian Rockies. And we create architectural visualization for developers, architects and builders across North America. Both start in the same place: with light, material, and the way a day moves through a room.
About the studio
Residential Design
Custom homes, mountain retreats and significant renovations, designed around the way you live. You see every room, rendered photographically, before construction begins.
Explore residences
Architectural Visualization
Photographic stills and film that sell projects before ground is broken, for presale launches, approvals and design review.

A house should feel inevitable, as if the land had simply been waiting for it. Bonavale
Discreet, personal, and exacting.
Discretion by default
We sign NDAs before we see a site, and we never publish or mention a project without your written consent. Many of our clients prefer not to be named at all.
One point of contact
You work directly with the principal from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. We take on a limited number of commissions each year so every project gets that attention.
See it before you build it
Our visualization studio is in-house. You don't have to read drawings: you see every room in photographic detail, at every stage, before a single decision is final.
