This is one of my favorite families and family homes that I have worked on. These clients are inspirational for me. They have businesses, a busy family and an active lifestyle. It was an honor to help them create a space that works for them. This kitchen by Prestige Cabinetry is stunning. The dark quartz island, large stainless steel appliances, and expansive workspace will be a central gathering space for years to come. Every active family needs an exercise room and a golf simulator in the basement. There are so many features in this home that it speaks for itself!

This Neal Huston-designed second home in Broken Top reflects its owners’ unpretentious personalities and active lifestyles. It is set apart from many of its neighboring homes by its modest size, vibrant use of color, simple but finely-wrought alder millwork and playful applications of stone and ceramic tile. The result is an eclectic mix of finishes that combine to create a very casual and welcoming space that doesn’t overpower the clients furnishings and artwork. Activity is anchored by the gourmet kitchen where multiple chefs have room to cook while family and friends gather around.

Gathering space for family, friends, and business meetings.
