Traditional British bones in the Arizona desert — and somehow, it makes perfect sense.

The brief asked for historical accuracy down to the moulding profile. We paired the architecture back to the periods this family loves most — Regency-era symmetry, Chippendale and King Louis-era furniture, original French Impressionist paintings — and held every detail to that standard. Even the things that didn't exist yet.

The television was the problem. TVs are only sixty to eighty years old — not historically accurate to anything we were honoring. So we camouflaged it inside a collage wall: a constellation of frames that lets the screen disappear in plain sight. The whole design moves like that — every reference earned, every anachronism resolved.

A Persian rug underfoot. Mahogany and cherry wood throughout. Velvet damask wallpaper. A samurai sword. Custom chinoiserie upholstery. Every era, every continent, every story this family treasures — gathered into one quietly intentional home.

"This is what custom, collected design looks like — and why no one else's house will ever look quite like it."
