Our out-to-the-edge floating glass walls that eliminate the divide between outdoors and in bring nature’s thrilling visuals right inside our luxury bedroom suites, elevating them into truly resort style spaces.

Modern resort style homes are retreats from the outside world, places to live out nearly every facet of our lives, in the comfort and privacy of our own space. Home movie theaters (and media rooms) complement this luxurious mode of living, inviting us to unwind and relax, escape the day, explore, and get inspired, without having to go anywhere.

Looking through our design archives at the number of projects and the terrific clients we’ve enjoyed serving over the years, nearly four decades has added up to a body of work that we’re excited to share!

Luxury resort style living doesn’t require an enormous home or modern estate, it can be enjoyed in as little as 5,000-10,000 square feet.

It’s always fun to see the evolution of our projects, as they change hands with new ownership. Our original client for Benedict Canyon was from the sports world, and he wanted an open-plan house for entertaining, that would also include a photography studio and gallery space for displaying his large scale artworks.

Here is part II of our exploration of iconic modern homes featured in film:

This project was built adjacent to the Mountain Course in the Bighorn Golf Club, Palm Desert, California, in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.

The desert is open space and long views, but also the close-up, detailed perfection of the cactus flower. It is nature’s serene minimalism. This is the setting for our project inside the gated community of The Vintage in Indian Wells, California.

As we continue to explore the design details that make our modern homes, we look at those elements which contribute to a spacious indoor outdoor experience.
