Skyline Luxury: A Bespoke Retreat Above the Las Vegas Strip

With a commanding view of the dazzling Las Vegas Strip, this 17,000-square-foot custom estate was an exhilarating project to design. Situated on an exclusive private golf course and surrounded by lush landscaping, the home offers resort-style living at its finest—complete with an infinity-edge pool and dramatic fire bowls that set the stage for unforgettable gatherings of 20 or more.

From the moment guests enter, bold design statements unfold. The bar features glowing underlit onyx stone—an instant showstopper when serving cocktails. The expansive great room, finished in smooth limestone flooring, flows seamlessly outdoors through retractable glass doors, blurring the line between interior and exterior living. Nature, luxury, and architecture exist in perfect harmony.

The enlarged chef’s kitchen was designed for entertaining on a grand scale, with comfortable seating for 20 and adjacent access to a temperature-controlled wine cellar and private tasting room. An architectural centerpiece, the staircase to the second floor spirals upward with sculptural steelwork encased in glass, creating a striking visual moment.

Each space in the home has its own personality. The cigar lounge features deep red crocodile-embossed walls and a state-of-the-art sound system for the ultimate sensory experience. In the master suite, a custom-built XXL king bed—sized to comfortably sleep four adults—anchors the space, emphasizing both luxury and scale.

The tranquil guest quarters open into a serene Buddha-inspired garden, softly lit by candles, offering a peaceful zone for rest and reflection. The home office is circular in design, wrapped in rich espresso cabinetry, and includes a hidden safe room that feels like a secret worth bragging about.

Due to the home's grand proportions, nearly all furnishings, bedding, and curated artwork were custom-designed, ensuring each element not only fit perfectly but elevated the overall experience of luxury, comfort, and wow-factor sophistication.
