This beautiful residence in Forest Hill exemplifies contemporary living at its best. Our clients wanted a clean, minimalist space for their young family of five and we designed every detail in this 17,000 sq ft home. The project was almost 5 years in the works, and we were there every step of the journey – from the planning with the architect, through construction, to the final installation of furniture.
