Legacy Properties

The design of a comprehensive estate is a complex undertaking. These incredibly personal projects are most successful when guided by a team that can look broadly to envision and sculpt the big picture, while also focusing intently on the intimate details that bring a project to life.

Whether nestled into the city, or positioned on expansive property, the new development or upgrade of intricate estates requires special attention to seamlessly integrate interior and exterior spaces. Collaborative, multidisciplinary teams are uniquely positioned to take on this challenge, able to design truly holistic solutions and elevated experiences that weave a property together as a cohesive whole.

Beyond vision and collaborative design acumen, technical experience is essential to bring these enduring projects to fruition. Our deep well of shared knowledge and creative design culture enables us to create uniquely personal homes and properties to be cherished for generations. Full of tailor-made spaces that live well, these legacy properties honor your site’s history, are grounded in the present, and look to the future.

Legacy properties are special — they represent a unique intersection between the history of a home or property, present needs, and what lies ahead. It’s essential to address these intersecting needs early in the design process, long before you ever break ground.

Positioning a new-build residence on a site, or expanding an existing home, is just the beginning. Thoughtful outbuildings, seamless indoor-outdoor connections, and enduring interior spaces are all made possible by early master planning efforts. By considering the architectural, interior design, and landscape architecture needs of your project at once, we’re able to solidify the design vision early on, which helps inform the extensive decision-making that follows.

The early concept development also gives us the opportunity to consider appropriate sustainability approaches, whether simply passive house inspired or certification-driven. These forward-looking strategies prioritize present comfort while keeping future use top-of-mind.

An intensely collaborative design team is a must on complex projects. With their intersection between indoor and outdoor spaces, legacy properties are especially well-suited for our integrated design studios.

With in-house teams of architects, interior designers, and landscape architects who’ve developed intimate working relationships, design is cohesive, not siloed or split by competing priorities. With all three disciplines at the table from project kick-off to completion, your project is in well-organized and dedicated hands.

Transparent, straightforward, and tailored to the unique needs of your project, we prioritize a smooth and efficient process that’s no less rigorous than it is delightful and fun.

Legacy properties touch not only your life as the present owner, but the lives of your family members now and in the generations to come. Our passion for these comprehensive projects, our technical expertise, and our deeply collaborative team enables us to deliver beautiful and personal heirloom designs tailor-made for you.

We thrive on the challenges and complexities of designing your entire property. Our multidisciplinary teams and multifaceted experience in architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture position us well for these complicated endeavors.

More than anything, we love telling stories through design. We look forward to telling your story through the design of your property, creating a home to be cherished for generations.
