This estate is the result of a 5 year collaboration with Kevin L. Harris, FAIA. Featured in the December issue of Robb Report, the 27,000-square-foot Tuscan-inspired estate is comfortably tucked away on 160 acres, with rolling green hills and treetop views. Reclaimed handmade 17th-century clay tiles top the roof while within repurposed wood and rustic stone compose the countertops, backsplashes, and flooring. The meticulous attention to detail and a near-obsession with historical accuracy (don’t move that elephant!) are hallmark Kevinisms.

Harris organized the floor plan so that every space, with the exception of the guest bedrooms, has to be walked through and experienced every day. To make the home more intimate, he eschewed long hallways and linear rooms. “A lot of times you see large homes with rooms arranged like a string of pearls—one pouring into the next,” says Harris. “The plan here wasn’t to create some kind of maze, but to have each room naturally flow into the next along the slope of the hill so that it would feel organic.”
