Perched atop the hills of Coto de Caza, Nicole and Bill found the perfect setting for their young family of six to begin a new chapter. With four lively children and two beloved cats, they dreamed of more than just a house. They wanted a home filled with warmth, comfort, and memories in the making.

​

Together, we envisioned spaces that would embrace their life as a family: cozy rooms layered in earthy colors and soft textures, a living room ready for laughter and game nights, and a serene master retreat where Nicole and Bill could recharge after the joyful chaos of everyday life.

​

But the heart of this story lies in a secret we created just for the children: a hidden playroom. Nicole asked for a colorful, imaginative space that could spark creativity and wonder and we kept it a surprise until the day they moved in. When Nicole later sent me a video of her kids discovering the room for the first time, eyes wide, voices squealing with joy, it filled my heart. That single moment captured everything this home was meant to be: a place of love, discovery, and togetherness.
