The leasing office needed two separate leasing desks for this complex and the sister apartments across the street. In order to dampen sound and provide privacy, we installed acoustical wood wall panels from the floor to the ceiling.

A snack bar in a leasing office immediately sets the tone for a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Spanish Contemporary Desert Home

My clients and I like to call this project “dirt-to-done". Everything in this home was a collaborative effort between the architect, client, and myself. The building process took about 18-months and was a labor of love. From the exterior in, this project has been one of the most wonderful experiences I have enjoyed. Nothing else makes me happier than being able to share this experience with everyone. I hope you enjoy the tour.
