This expansive estate was purchased by a Canadian real estate investor as a renovation and resale opportunity. The property, previously owned but never occupied by an overseas company, had fallen into disrepair despite its incredible potential. Set on an impressive lot, it included a five-bedroom main house, two multi-room guest houses, a tennis court, and the largest residential pool I’ve ever seen.
A complete transformation was required—inside and out. Every structure and outdoor area needed to be reimagined, as nothing was salvageable. The renovation spanned over a year and took place during 2020, presenting the unique challenge of managing an international client relationship remotely, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Every selection and decision we made was either by trust in me, which was usually the case, or by FaceTime.
This project was a designer’s dream: a rare opportunity to start fresh with creative freedom—balanced by the need to make smart, market-conscious choices for resale.
