Love how you really show how everything needs to be thought out before building. Your attention to detail is wonderful and shows and inspires me to look at so many things about the total design needs of building a house.

What a amazing basement!
Thank you for sharing, and thanks especially for talking through the important details
- how you transitioned from the traditional upper floors above to the contemporary basement below,
- the very slight curve of the railing on the stairway,
- in the bar area countertop, the paper towels in the silver coaster (from your own luxe kitchen video),
- “functional display” — my new mantra!
- wine cellar flooring: it’s OK to splurge even when you’re the only one who sees (or knows)
- how to disguise structural posts IF you plan during construction
- budgets! I appreciate that even though your budget is significantly more than mine, you acknowledge that you do not have unlimited budget. For example, no cabinets in that room-dividing wall by the pool table; the different countertops in the bar area, foregoing the linear fireplace, etc.
- barn doors do NOT have to be rustic! Love the look of those glass barn doors going to your gym
- an IKEA console in the same house as bespoke consoles
I could go on and on, but I just want to applaud your design style and thank you for sharing the “why” behind the “wow”.

My favorite thing is the glass doors to the gym. You don't feel closed in so I love that!

You are a class act full of knowledge that even myself who has a small wallet can take ideas from, such as the post in the basement. I do believe you have solved my problem that is between my family room and kitchen/bar area in the home I will be closing on this coming Monday. I am so excited to take my new home to it's new level of design, and decorating elegence that it needs to be. I love you, and thank you for your videos, you are truely an awesome inspiration to me, and I'm sure others. I couldn't even imagine living in such luxury, no doubt you have earned every bit of it. Thank you, stay safe & healthy in all you do...

Wow! What an endless space! Very smart layout and planning ideas. I know this video is specifically about bridging into a more contemporary space but it just makes me realize how I never get tired of looking at all your beautiful panelling and extra luxe finishes. Adore the chandelier that greets you as you arrive in the basement! 🤩
