Amaya Design

Clients searching for an architectural designer Calgary team come to us when a home needs to make sense on the land, in the budget, and in everyday life. Our Calgary studio brings together layout planning, exterior design, permit-ready drawings, and builder handoff for custom homes and acreage home designs.
From the first sketch, we look at the practical details that shape a better home: where the morning light lands, how guests arrive, where muddy boots go, and how the drawings will help the builder price and build with fewer surprises.

Calgary-based residential design studio with 20 years of design experience across custom homes, acreage residences, infills, renovations, and boutique multi-family projects.

At Amaya Design, every project starts with ordinary questions that matter later: how the family moves through the day, what the site gives us, where the light comes from, and what the builder will need to price the work properly.
From Calgary infills to acreage homes outside the city, our work usually falls into these residential design areas:
Custom luxury inner-city and acreage homes
Calgary infill single and semi-detached homes
Boutique multi-family developments
Major home renovations and additions
The details change from site to site, but the handoff should always be clear: a home that has a point of view, a layout that works, and drawings that help the project move into pricing, permits, and construction. Explore our custom home design Calgary, infill design in Calgary, multi family design in Calgary, and home renovations in Calgary.
Acreage Living
Amaya Design creates acreage home designs for clients building on larger properties in and around Calgary. We regularly work with families planning homes in Rocky View County, Springbank, Bearspaw, De Winton, Balzac, and Foothills County.
On an acreage, the first design move is often about placement. We look at the driveway approach, views, winter light, privacy from neighbouring properties, garage access, and how the home will feel from the road as well as from the main living spaces.
Whether you are planning a luxury estate, a modern farmhouse, a mountain-view residence, or a custom family acreage, our team develops layouts and permit-ready drawings that connect the home to the land before the project moves into pricing and construction.

About Us
We are a Calgary residential design team shaped by two decades of drawings, site meetings, builder questions, permit packages, and real homes coming out of the ground.
Our work sits between design intent and construction reality. We care about proportion, light, and curb appeal, but we also care about stair locations, garage access, structural coordination, and whether the package gives a builder enough clarity to move forward.
That practical experience is why homeowners, builders, and developers come to Amaya Design for custom homes, acreage residences, infills, renovations, and boutique multi-family projects across Calgary and the surrounding communities.

Our Projects
Every project starts with a different constraint: a view worth protecting, a narrow lot, a large acreage, a family routine, or an existing home that needs a better plan. These featured projects show how those early decisions become real rooms, elevations, entries, garages, decks, and outdoor connections. Explore our Rocky View County acreage custom home and our Springbank custom home design to see how that approach comes to life on the ground.

Our Process
A good process keeps everyone from guessing. We move from early ideas into drawings in a way that gives homeowners, builders, and consultants something clear to react to at each step. If you want to see our full Calgary home design process, we break each step down in more detail.
See our processStage 01
We start with the site, the people who will use the home, the budget direction, and the constraints that could affect approvals or construction.
Stage 02
We test layouts, room relationships, exterior direction, views, sunlight, privacy, and the first big moves that shape the home.
Stage 03
The preferred concept becomes a coordinated drawing package with the information builders and consultants need to review the project.
Stage 04
We prepare permit-ready documentation and help keep the approval path organized, clear, and tied back to the design intent.
Stage 05
As pricing, coordination, and construction questions come up, we stay available to help the design move forward without losing its purpose.

Testimonials
