New homes are not always in the area you desire and have small lots with little privacy. If you have a property, we can build on it. Otherwise, our team will find you an on- or off-market property that meets your needs.

Our Design Ethos
Our design team dedicates time to understanding your unique lifestyle, ensuring every space is optimized for your daily living. Whether it’s creating a cozy loft, designing custom work-from-home offices, incorporating hidden storage solutions, or maximizing natural sunlight, we tailor your home to feel perfectly suited to you.
The exterior of your home should be a true reflection of your unique style, captivating you every time you return. It should inspire pride and admiration, making you pause to appreciate its beauty. Embrace the joy of coming home to a place that truly represents you.
We reject builder-grade materials in favor of high-quality, often custom finishes that stand the test of time. We're not a conveyor belt of cookie-cutter homes. Instead, we source exceptional materials from around the world to create truly unique and lasting spaces.
You’re not confined to a specific floor plan, set of finishes, or styles. We can custom design your entire home from the ground up, tailored to your vision. If you prefer, our team can offer expert guidance or handle the design based on your requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for your needs.

The construction process usually takes between 10 and 24 months. The exact timeline depends on various factors, including the size of the home, unique architectural or design elements, and material selections. For example, ultra-high-end fixtures ordered internationally may face manufacturing and shipping delays.
Additionally, the lot selection, architectural, design, and pre-construction phases can take up to a year or longer, depending on the complexity of the home and the relevant zoning or permit requirements.
We do not offer in-house financing but we have a trusted network of preferred lenders that are experienced in construction lending.
While we can begin the design process using a model plan and finishes, we often prefer to design each home from the ground up to meet the unique needs and preferences of our clients.
Model plans and finishes serve as a great starting point to spark creativity and inspire ideas, but rest assured, the sky’s the limit. Our approach ensures that every detail is tailored to your vision, creating a truly one-of-a-kind home.
