From A Dream Of The French Countryside. The fragrance of fresh lavender and the harvesting of delicious grapes from the vine would begin to fulfill the retirement life once only thought to be a dream. A two-year, new construction project styled after a French country estate, this home is designed to serve as a private gathering place for friends and a growing generational family. Full-service responsibilities included complete interior and exterior architectural detailing; finish material selections, and furnishings. Custom kitchen and bath designs, as well as flooring, fireplace details, lighting, and ceiling details were also designed.
