He is a businessman who spends much of the year on the road. He wanted a house that felt calm to come home to and impressive enough to host in, and he needed one person to keep every decision moving while he was abroad. Along the way the brief grew: three of the bedrooms became rooms for his daughters, each with its own personality.

He approved the first design within a day, and from there I kept every room moving through his trips with clear updates and decisions documented as we went.

The entry

The entry sets the tone: a twelve-foot indoor tree, lit from above, and a bench I designed to sit beneath it, with the tree's planter built into its far end.

The living spaces

From there the house is curved forms, soft neutrals and layered texture. A wood feature wall washed in light anchors the living room, and custom gray cabinetry ties the bar and the family room media wall to the Italian kitchen.

The primary bedroom

The primary bedroom goes the other way, dark and moody, a quiet contrast to the brighter living and dining spaces.

“It has that wow factor I was looking for, but still feels like me.”

Since then he has brought me two more projects.

He also introduced me to the family behind my Doral project.
