A refined 1,200-square-foot detached residence designed around expansive living, natural light, and modern architectural detailing.

A thoughtfully crafted 2,700-square-foot custom villa on a 6,800-square-foot lot, designed around dramatic proportions, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. 15-foot vaulted ceilings, a 12-foot statement kitchen island, skylights, oversized windows, and three custom bi-fold door systems create an open and sophisticated modern residence.

500 SF | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Attached Addition

A thoughtfully planned 500-square-foot addition built above an existing garage, creating a separate and independently accessible living space with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-concept kitchen and living area.

Well-positioned windows bring abundant natural light throughout the residence, giving the interiors a bright and open character.
