Design doesn’t always require demolition, just direction.


Three Guest Suites
Designed with the same care as the rest of the home, these lower-level suites are fully considered retreats. Exceptional bedding, layered lighting, thoughtful storage, and hospitality-level amenities make guests feel completely at home.

Guest Gathering Living Area
Not just a guest space — a fully realized experience.
This lower-level living area was designed to feel less like “downstairs” and more like a private retreat. A generous lounge, swivel seating, and a fully equipped coffee and beverage station create a space that invites guests to settle in and stay awhile. With its own entrance, laundry, and seamless access to the backyard and private gym, every detail was considered to make this space feel effortless, functional, and quietly indulgent.
