Located
on one of the west coast's premier ocean front properties,
this home was destined for greatness. This 5,300
square foot Cape Cod style home was designed and
built specifically for the homeowner. The hillside,
ocean front building site brought with it many challenges.
One of the big challenges of this project was to
harmonize authentic design with practical function
for an active family of five. By collaborating with
the architect and interior designer through out
the design process every detail was attended to.
The house boasts some
amazing features. All the exterior stonework was
hand-laid. Hand-hewn beams grace the ceilings
throughout the home. Handcrafted finish work,
trim, and cabinets add a special touch. The custom
marble and designer tile work tied everything
together to depict this home’s New England
charm.
In the end this home speaks
volumes about our commitment to merging meticulous
detail with everyday functionality. I have enjoyed
being invited for an occasional visit and have
seen first hand how much happiness the homeowners
experience there. What a place!

This 6,800 square foot old world English Manor style home was unique from the beginning. The owner declared himself a “gentleman farmer” and sought to construct a home that would offer him and his wife a place to plant vegetable gardens and enjoy outside spaces. It was also important to include features that would accommodate their love of entertaining. Although their children were grown, they anticipated future weddings, grandchildren, holiday celebrations, and other occasions to welcome in family and friends. The homeowners took a very active role in the design and building process of their home. They wanted every detail, inside and out, to reflect their personalities. Every room was constructed with authentic craftsmanship and adorned with befitting decor to create this special, one-of-a-kind home. Built on a hillside, this home features full landscaping with appropriately placed masonry stone retaining walls enclosing a private pool and spa.
I personally enjoyed building this project. The owner's involvement made it a pleasure. I have since had the opportunity to be a guest in this home. It is clear to me that the collaboration between the homeowners and myself provided my clients with their dream home.

When
I first consulted with this couple as to the overall
design and function of their dream home, it was
clear to me that they had the future in mind. This
8,600 square foot traditional Mediterranean style
home took into consideration their future plans
of having children, entertaining, and enjoying quiet
outside spaces. It was important to them to call
their home a place of rest. With a very hands-on
approach, every room was given its due attention,
right down to the one-of-a-kind personal library
built entirely out of cherry wood.
This
home has many great views and a personal layout,
giving it a comfortable and functional setting
throughout. Many hours were spent with the homeowner
capturing the feel of each room. The personalized
entertainment center and the gourmet kitchen were
designed to accommodate their love of entertaining
and cooking. Rigorous design techniques and construction
disciplines created this home and captured their
desired lifestyle.

This
beach-side home was specifically designed and built
to accommodate the life style of a young and active
family of four. Being raised on the coast myself;
I understood this family’s connection to the
beach and their desire to incorporate that into
their home. By utilizing a modern-contemporary design,
this 7,800 square foot home offered this family
the luxuries of home and the beauty of the beach
in one. Certain aspects
of this home that were particularly important
to the homeowner. A beautiful built-in salt-water
aquarium was positioned in the entryway to create
an instant aura of tranquility. Spacious bedrooms
and personalized bathrooms were designed for their
two young growing boys . A spacious playroom was
built on the second floor to provide ample room
to entertain and catch the breathtaking ocean
views. A full workout room and dry sauna were
also incorporated to serve the needs of this athletic
family. Other magnificent features of this home
included an elevator, pool, spa, and waterfront
dock to provide a place to moor their boat.
Every detail was personally
attended to right down to the marble floors and
granite counter tops. With fantastic ocean and
island views, classic charm, and function, this
home will serve this family and their love for
the ocean for many years to come.

I had
the privilege of building a family estate for these
same clients years before. To be able to build them
their second dream home was a dream come true for
both of us. The small details of this home represent
the industry's highest standards. New England style
stone wainscoting transitions into the white cedar
wood siding adds a special touch. From the upstairs
family room with an ocean view down to the wine
cellar, every room and feature works together to
create harmony and add charm. This traditional Cape
Cod style ocean side home captures the feel and
function of a cozy cottage by the sea. |
