For this duo, inner-city living fuses business with pleasure – BY MEREDITH BAILEY for Avenue: Alkarim and Majida Devani are passionate about building a better Calgary. They are the dynamic design couple behind Beyond Homes — Alkarim is the founder and principal and Majida is the head designer. Beyond Homes has become known for its modern, sustainable custom homes infused with natural design elements, such as reclaimed wood flooring and loads of natural light.
The Devanis are champions of the inner city, outspoken against urban sprawl and committed to creating dynamic communities that support what they call the “heart of Calgary.”
In addition, the busy duo is involved in other design projects. Majida is also the principal of Building Bloc Design, a separate architecture and interior design firm, and Alkarim was one of the founders of Hors de Combat, a Calgary-based military-inspired menswear line that’s currently on hiatus.
