Homesmithdesign

A dream came true this week.

I’ve spent years combing through the pages of Architectural Digest, saving projects, studying the work of designers, architects, photographers, and craftsmen whose talent seemed larger than life. Seeing one of our projects featured in its pages is a moment I’ll never forget.

What makes this recognition so meaningful is knowing how many people helped bring this home to life.

The incredible homeowners who trusted us with a vision that wasn’t always the obvious choice.
Fenn Rogers, who brought us into the project and introduced us to clients who were willing to embrace bold ideas and trust the process.

My talented design team, who lived and breathed this project for years. They obsessed over details, pushed ideas further, solved problems, and never stopped looking for ways to make this home more beautiful, more functional, and more meaningful for our clients. This recognition is a reflection of their dedication and talent as much as anyone’s.
Worth Development, who executed our outdoor design so beautifully.

The craftsmen and artisans who poured their heart and soul into every detail, from the stone fabrication and custom cabinetry to the plaster work, tile installation, furnishings, and countless details throughout the home.

And photographer Joshua Caldwell.

Joshua reached out after seeing this project on my stories and asked if he could photograph it. After spending a few minutes on his website, I remember thinking, “There is no way this guy wants to photograph one of our projects.”
Talk about a pinch-me moment.

The images in this feature are a testament to his incredible talent and ability to tell the story of a home.

Caballo has always been a special project to me.
A home with incredible bones, wonderful clients, talented collaborators, and the opportunity to create something deeply rooted in its architecture, setting, and history.

Today I’m feeling incredibly grateful.

To our clients, our team, our partners, and everyone who played a role in bringing this home to life, thank you.

This one means more than you’ll ever know.
