The estate at Lynnstone 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.
