Masterfully scripted by Brian O'Keefe, the architect employed fundamental principles of balance, proportion, function, and beauty to synthesize classical design principles with a contemporary aesthetic in this modern masterpiece. Charles Allem, principal of C.A.D. International, was engaged as Design Director and Interior Designer with overall project oversight. His vision for this property was to create an experience-driven by his client's lifestyle. He established a color palette of taupe and beige punctuated by black. Charles embraced the use of natural honed materials such as bronze, stone, and leather.
