Laurel House

Set high above Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, Laurel House is a custom luxury home designed around a series of open, interconnected living spaces with expansive views across the city.  From the landscaped arrival court, a double height glass entrance reveals the scale of the design, while bringing daylight deep into the interior. Warm wood, stone, glass, and living plants continue from the outdoors in, softening the architecture, and giving the modern home a natural feel. infinite yaseem, ethan gulliford, andrew bramasco infinite yaseem, ethan gulliford, andrew bramasco infinite yaseem, ethan gulliford, andrew bramasco infinite yaseem, ethan gulliford, andrew bramasco Designed for both large-scale entertaining and...

Benedict Canyon Drive

This addition to our Benedict Canyon project in Beverly Hills expands the footprint of the home, adding a separate setting within the larger property for recreation, wellness, and entertaining.  A landscaped walkway leads from the main house to the rooftop of the annex, where a beautiful spiral staircase leads down, connecting the three levels. Gently stepped down the hillside, the design echoes the modern look and feel of the primary residence, as well as its indoor-outdoor style.  The main floor brings together a full-length bowling alley, foosball table, and outdoor patio with bar and fire pit lounge. Outdoor sports like golf, boules, and outdoor chess can be played on the grassy rooftop above. Lined with benches, this space... More

La Jolla

Located in the coastal community of La Jolla, San Diego, this modern family home brings the comforts of luxury living outdoors, with terraces and gathering spaces on every floor.

Sasso Nero

 Sasso Nero is a bespoke contemporary residence on Sydney's Northern Beaches, where architecture, landscape and topography are conceived as a single composition. Responding to its bushland setting and coastal climate, the home demonstrates a site-specific approach to residential architecture grounded in materiality, craftsmanship and environmental performance. Organised around outdoor living, the home dissolves the threshold between inside and out. Courtyards, carefully framed openings and subtle changes in level draw the surrounding bushland into everyday life while balancing privacy, natural light and cross ventilation. Rather than dominating its setting, the architecture works with the landscape to create a calm, immersive living e... More

The Snail House

The Snail House by Varun Garg Architects transforms a compact 10-marla plot in Panchkula into a calm, light-filled family residence. Inspired by the geometry of a snail shell and the Fibonacci spiral, the home is organised around a sculptural staircase that gradually expands from 3 feet to 9 feet in width. More than a circulation element, it becomes the spatial heart of the residence, guiding movement and creating a continuous architectural experience across levels.

The award-winning project integrates six custom-designed, museum-grade display cases to showcase an extraordinary collection of sculptural couture garments.

Internally, the design progresses from darker, stone-clad lower levels to lighter, airy spaces above. Built to the highest specifications, the home integrates advanced tech... More

Moor Hall

This project features gable end windows in Sutton Colfield as the defining architectural element of a private replacement dwelling on Moor Hall Drive.

Hanging Gardens

Our Hanging Gardens home is now available. Located on 5338 Highland Road in Minnetonka.

Pinnacle House

Set atop a prominent ridgeline in Rancho Santa Fe, Pinnacle House is conceived as a contemporary estate that blurs the boundary between architecture, landscape, and horizon. Positioned on 1.9 acres with panoramic views extending across rolling canyons to the Pacific Ocean, the residence is designed as a private retreat that celebrates Southern California’s climate, light, and indoor-outdoor way of living.

Paradise Valley

Perched high above the Arizona desert, Paradise Valley transforms its steep hillside site into a bold architectural composition that follows the contours of the landscape, and opens its multi-layered design towards the valley below. A modern courtyard at the entrance with seating and a water vapor feature provides an atmospheric transition from the street to the private spaces. More than somewhere to quickly pass through, this open air gathering space invites a moment of pause before entering and exiting the property.   Once inside, the 7,300-square-foot design opens up into a dramatic living space with sweeping views across the desert. Anchored by a double-height stone fireplace, the great room is the heart of the home, connecting t... More

Bonhill

Designed for the contemporary Brentwood lifestyle, Bonhill brings together open plan living, abundant natural light, and a central outdoor pool terrace at the heart of its design.  From the street, a visually textured exterior of stacked stone, warm wood, and expansive glass beneath deep roof overhangs lends the home a sense of sheltered privacy, while it remains remarkably open.  Inside, the design is exceptionally cohesive. A library, living room, dining room, bar, and kitchen all unfold within a series of interconnected spaces, while a concealed workspace, walk-in pantry, and private guest suite are incorporated into the surrounding plan.  A sculptural wine wall and strategically placed light well add visual interest an...
