Training Grounds

From the very beginning of my career, I have worked on multi-million-dollar homes at the highest level of design and construction. Some of these projects were built without limitation—where vision, materials, nature, and architecture were woven together without compromise. On one home alone, the owner purchased an entire quarry because the scale of stonework was so extensive it was more efficient to own the source than to buy the material. Ballrooms, ponds, waterfalls, swimming pools, planted landscapes, and every material imaginable were blended together into living works of art.

Bathrooms quickly became one of my favorite spaces to design and build. On these projects, bathrooms were not just bathrooms—they were private spas inspired by nature, travel, and luxury resorts around the world. Lush, jungle-like environments filled with light, stone, water, and living energy. On one project, the bathroom ceiling opened to a 30’ x 30’ retractable sky view—allowing you to sit in a hot tub or bathtub and look up at the stars. These are the kinds of details that redefine what a home can be.

My design language is shaped by very high-level taste and craftsmanship. I work best when there is freedom to explore what is truly possible—without cutting corners—yet I am always conscious of avoiding unnecessary spending. That said, much of what I design requires real investment to be executed smoothly and without added stress.

No matter the budget, I am honest about construction inside a home is intense. There will be sound, movement, disruption, and transformation. Understanding that reality ahead of time helps clients stay grounded and supported through the process. When expectations are clear, even the most ambitious builds can feel exciting instead of overwhelming.

These projects taught me that true luxury is not just about cost—it’s about vision, craftsmanship, flow, and how the space makes you feel when you live inside it.
