Showcasing Amazing Examples of Today's Best Architecture & Design!
Three Unique Homes, individually designed
The Retreat: The first house on the row is an understated, calming retreat designed for the eldest members of the tight-knit family. With soothing colors, thoughtful design, and just enough flair to provide a distinct personality, this 2600 sf home offers spaces to entertain, unwind and get artistic.

The Showstopper: Created for the social butterfly of the family, this residence boasts spaces for entertaining and stealing away. An entire level of the home is dedicated to having a good time, complete with flamingo pink bar and tropical décor that blends into the exquisitely decked out pool, patio, and deck space that evokes Miami Beach. Alternately, the home also features a fully sound-proofed music room and a private sauna and spa retreats for when the owners are ready to relax and unwind.

The Work of Art: The final house on the private row belongs to Soheil, the CEO of Nakhshab Development and Design. A true craftsman, the home exudes a style and sophistication while remaining supremely functional for everyday family life. Intricate tile work, bold color schemes, and elegant wood built-ins anchor the eclectic décor that defines Nakhshab’s personal style. Outside, a large outdoor kitchen and private pool retreat offer the perfect escape after a long day spent crafting away in his home office.

This is a new build, completed in 2019. The owner acted as the general contractor on the build. The lot is approximately 60 feet wide at its narrowest point and over 300 ft long.
The house is L-shaped, just under 3000 square feet with 3 bedrooms, an office, and a loft overlooking the great room. Technically, it is a “1-story house” even though it spans 3 levels. The garage is considered the basement, not a “story”. The main living space, consisting of 2600 sq. ft, is the 1-story, and the 350 sq. ft loft is considered a mezzanine, not a second story.
The final floorplan was designed by the owner, with guidance from architect Matthew Ellis. Matthew designed the rooflines, architectural features, and finishes around the floorplan. It is a simple house with a design goal to look majestic on a modest budget using standard “stick” framing techniques.
