We, at JD + A, approach every project as a private estate experience—where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle are designed as one seamless environment.
Originally constructed in 2021, by us for other builder, this residence was later entrusted to our team for a comprehensive architectural renewal. What began as a foundational structure evolved into a fully curated private estate through a complete renovation, and lower-level (Walk-out-basement) redesign and the creation of an expansive three-story outdoor living environment tailored to the home’s scale and wooded natural setting.
The result is not simply a total renovation, but the evolution of a private resort-style retreat—defined by architectural refinement, bespoke craftsmanship, and timeless modern luxury.

A Legacy Transformation
This project represents our philosophy in its purest form—a legacy home renewed through architecture-led outdoor living design and estate-level detail. Every intervention was approached as an opportunity to elevate lifestyle, privacy, and spatial experience, transforming the property into a fully realized residential sanctuary.

Estate Highlights
Elevated Grand Terrace
A sweeping upper terrace was crafted as an elegant outdoor lounge overlooking the grounds. Refined materials, architectural railings, cascading greenery, and a curated hanging garden establish a sophisticated setting for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining.
Multi-Level Entertainment Courtyard
The lower level unfolds into a series of purpose-designed outdoor rooms featuring layered seating zones, seamless interior-exterior transitions, and uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.
Signature Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion
A custom outdoor kitchen anchors the estate experience, featuring premium appliances, a full bar, expansive stone countertops, and a striking pergola structure that balances architectural presence with functional shade—redefining outdoor dining and entertainment.
