ABOVE: Porcelain tile imported from Italy extends along
the length of the "runway"—a cantilevered extension of
the patio that rises above the ravine 30 feet below. Mature
rhododendrons were planted along the side of the overlook
and three-sided infinity-edge pool to meld with the home's
over 100-year-old landscape.
FACING PAGE TOP: A rectilinear fountain draws the eye toward
the home's front façade, where the original Tudor-style half-
timbering takes center stage. Inside, everything from the
lights and security system to the audio/visual devices can be
controlled through fully integrated smart home technology.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: A beautiful lagoon, private golf
course, and a rose garden are among the home's incredible
natural features on the 4.5-acre site. When a 100-year-old
beehive was discovered onsite, a professional apiculturist
was hired to transport the hive to a new location over two
days. A self-sufficient irrigation system that filters water
throughout the property was installed to allow for irrigation
during water restrictive months.

renovation is to create
a seamless feel, to make
the new elements feel
as if they've always
been there."
