“I grew up on the east coast in a star-shaped glass house in the woods. I’ve had a passion for architecture and interior design, since a young boy. I attribute my keen eye for design to my mother, who has exceptional taste and style. She also has a fondness for contemporary homes and a unique knack for mixing different styles of furniture and decor.
I moved to Los Angeles in 1993 and opened a high fashion boutique on 3rd. Street Promenade in Santa Monica. After years of hard work and dedication, my boutique was chosen “best boutique” and I received “best style” in Los Angeles Magazine, Best of LA issue. I was also honored with the entire style section in the in the Los Angeles magazine, Best of LA issue. The thing that delighted me the most was that they featured the “Celestial ceiling” of the boutique, a recreation of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. This was inspired after my first buying trip to Italy, which my father, being an art history expert and a huge fan of the renaissance period, encouraged. Years of shopping in Paris influenced my 2nd creation a French boudoir boutique on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood. This store was featured several times in TV and magazines.
At 27 I remodeled my first home, a single level mid-century home, built in the 60’s. I moved onto doing a few properties in the Hollywood Hills and on the beach. The “Bali Paradise” was inspired by my love of the Balinese architecture, which incorporates contemporary design, nature and simplicity. Every piece of art and furniture, as well the materials in the home, I hand picked in Bali. I spent two years creating this masterpiece and I was rewarded when it was featured on HGTV as well as the Hollywood Hills Dream Home. This home was one of my favorite projects which I restored 5000 square-foot five bedroom home in the Bird Streets, on Upper Doheny Dr. Beverly Hills. This home had souring ceilings 25 ft. High, two levels, and beautiful views of Los Angeles.
With my vast travel experience I personally love to combine cutting edge design with art and furniture from all over the world to create a functional space that is both architecturally and aesthetically pleasing.
My proudest And most recent project, Tulum Dream Villa, Located in the extremely popular destination, Tulum, Mexico. This is where I decided my newest creation would be. I designed and created a 6 bedroom, 6000 square-foot luxury villa in the prestigious Aldea Premium, Aldea Zama gated community, just before the beach. One if the things i loved about designing this property, is that it can be split into three separate villas, or rented as one entire villa. I incorporated mainly glass, important stone, and exotic woods as the main elements of this home. All of the art, home decor, and furniture I hand selected from Bali, Mexico, and Morocco.
I look forward to my next projects in Todos Santos, Baja Ca Sur this year, where I just finished my first villa, TodosSantosDreamVilla.com. Next, I will be designing a private, gated architectural community of 6 Dream Villas in front of the ocean. The first being the Eye Home, an extraordinary home in the shape of my eye! I will also be developing a Luxury Boutique Hotel/Resort and Wellness Center, with 11 villas, 5 star restaurant, sky lounge, and beach club!
