Completed in 2020, this impressive luxury estate was went through a complete renovation of the house and the entire property and gardens.
This expansive estate creates a private oasis and retreat in the middle of Dallas. The estate includes a private lake with fountain features and stocked with fish, impressive entry gates, an expansive new driveway and front motor court arrival area, grand steps, stone retaining walls and a meandering path that wraps around the lake and offers a wonderful walking experience around the property. The gardens are spectacular and feature a variety of blooming shrubs, perennials and flowers to create a year round experience of color and texture for the owners. The perimeter of the property features mature privacy hedges and trees strategically placed to enhance the views from the house, while still providing glimpses into the property for the neighborhood.
The existing swimming pool was completely renovated to create a tanning shelf for chaise lounges as well as a decorative tile, new plaster and canon fountain jets along the side to provide additional interest. The pool terrace, walkways and all exterior patios feature a beautiful limestone material that dresses up the outside living areas. Adjacent to the pool, the existing cabana structure was redone to create an outdoor kitchen and bar seating for friends and family.
The wrap around porches on the backside of the house create inviting spaces for entertaining and offer incredible vistas overlooking the gardens and lake.
In addition to the expansive garden areas, we planted dozens of mature and specimen trees throughout the property to help provide an instant impact and to also provide the garden another layer of beauty in the fall with the various fall colors offered by the tree selections.
Along side the lake, we created multiple seating areas that offer the owners the opportunity to entertain and enjoy the property from many different angles and at different times of day. A large fire pit terrace was also included beside the lake creating a spectacular experience of water and fire.
We also created recreation areas on the property for kids and adults alike. There is a dedicated playground areas with a large swing set for the kids as well as a new putting and chipping green to practice your short game.

This bonus-room remodel in Raleigh NC by Lavish transforms an upper-level space into a golf simulator lounge and bar built for year-round entertaining.
Our clients wanted a hardworking, atmospheric retreat tucked beneath the home's sloped rooflines — somewhere to practice a swing, host friends, and unwind. Lavish's design-build team fit a full golf simulator setup with a projection screen and turf into the angled space, framing it with exposed wood beams for warmth and character.
A built-in wet bar anchors the lounge with deep navy cabinetry, a shimmering tile backsplash, floating shelves, quartz counters, and a stainless refrigerator. Comfortable lounge seating, leather bar stools, and a round dining table make the room equally suited to game day and casual gatherings.
Lavish designs and remodels living spaces across the Triangle and the North Carolina coast, from Raleigh to Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington.

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.

This sleek modern space was designed with a young professional in mind. Its open feel would fit perfectly in a loft space or a downtown condo. The kitchen’s door style is what really sets the tone as its beauty lies in its simplicity, with straight lines and right angles. And while the cabinetry is clean and understated, the mix of the painted white and the deep brown finishes give the kitchen character.
Perfect for a cocktail party, the Island serves as gathering space to enjoy appetizers. The peninsula is situated next to wine shelves and would work great as a drink station. Practical as well as fun, the butt door cabinets just above the sink to the left allow for an open space when both cabinet doors are open as there’s no center rail on the cabinet frame. This option offers homeowners the added convenience of easily storing wide awkward items such as serving platters and board games.
Getting ready for the party is easier too, with several smart storage features. For example, a pegged deep drawer organizer provides ample width and depth as well as a special peg board bottom which allows homeowners to keep pots and pans organized. With a drawer organizer next to the stove you won’t have to fumble around to find the utensil you need. And a swing out Lazy Susan makes retrieving items from the awkward corner area a breeze.

Step into this Elegant Torrance Kitchen Remodel, where timeless design meets modern functionality. The centerpiece of this kitchen is a stunning dual-tone island, featuring rich wood contrasted against the sleek white cabinetry. It's not just for show; the expansive countertop space makes it perfect for meal prep and casual dining. We went with a classic subway tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern, adding just the right amount of texture to the clean, neutral palette. Stainless steel appliances and a custom range hood bring a professional-grade touch, while glass-front upper cabinets provide a stylish display for glassware and dishware.
Lighting was a game-changer here. We installed a trio of pendant lights over the island, casting beautiful patterns that enhance the overall ambiance. The open layout ensures an easy flow between cooking, dining, and entertaining. For this Torrance home, the goal was simple: combine elegance with everyday practicality, and we think it hit the mark beautifully.

Built by Schumacher Homes, America's Largest Custom Home Builder, this stunning Windsor II Modern Farmhouse in Bowling Green, Ohio, effortlessly balances classic architectural details with modern elements. High-end first impressions start the moment you step inside the home, where elegant glass French doors create a bright, airy entrance that establishes a warm, inviting welcome for guests. Inspired by the popular Windsor plan, the Windsor II maximizes spatial flow with an open-concept layout on the first floor, seamlessly connecting the family room, dining area, and kitchen into a unified heart of the home. This expansive main living space is anchored by a dramatic, two-story electric fireplace that brings immense height and sophisticated style to the great room, combining custom wood and tile finishes to provide the perfect cozy focal point.
Designed for premium organization and practicality, the entry from the garage features a highly functional, custom built-in drop zone. Outfitted with dedicated lockers and cubbies, this mudroom space streamlines daily routines by providing a designated area for everyday essentials. For ultimate main-level privacy, the luxurious owner’s retreat serves as a secluded sanctuary on the first floor, featuring abundant storage thanks to two separate walk-in closets. The spa-like owner's bath offers a premium getaway experience, beautifully appointed with a contemporary freestanding soaking tub and a custom tile shower. Upstairs, the home transitions into an entertainment-focused second floor featuring a versatile media room designed to be the ultimate hub for hosting family and friends for movie nights, weekend sports, and casual game nights.

This project was featured in Midwest Home magazine as the winner of ASID Life in Color. The addition of a kitchen with custom shaker-style cabinetry and a large shiplap island is perfect for entertaining and hosting events for family and friends. Quartz counters that mimic the look of marble were chosen for their durability and ease of maintenance. Open shelving with brass sconces above the sink create a focal point for the large open space.
Putting a modern spin on the traditional nautical/coastal theme was a goal. We took the quintessential palette of navy and white and added pops of green, stylish patterns, and unexpected artwork to create a fresh bright space. Grasscloth on the back of the built in bookshelves and console table along with rattan and the bentwood side table add warm texture. Finishes and furnishings were selected with a practicality to fit their lifestyle and the connection to the outdoors. A large sectional along with the custom cocktail table in the living room area provide ample room for game night or a quiet evening watching movies with the kids.
