Beaver Lodge was originally built in 1914 by pioneer Norman Luxton as a boarding house rental property for Banff travelers. This renovation and addition sought to celebrate its historical era-specific details and restore its original use as a rental property.

As well as the restoration of the original 1914 Beaver Lodge home, Studio North also created a modern addition that adds a contrasting yet complimentary piece of architecture to the historic building. This new modern kitchen extension allows Beaver Lodge to offer two dwellings with full amenities, thus returning it to its original use as a rental house. Fir plywood is used throughout as a material with character, texture, and the perfect balance of roughness and refinement.
