The Spaces We Study

No Faces. Just Places.

We're interested in how the world's finest homes are designed, where they sit, and what they say about the people who inhabit them — without ever showing those people. Architecture is the story. The space is the subject.

Below are homes that have earned a second look. Some are for sale. Some are not. All of them are worth understanding.

🏙️
Penthouse
Manhattan Triplex
📍 Upper West Side, New York
Three floors of glass above Central Park. The living room ceiling is 24 feet. The kitchen is larger than most New York apartments. A piano sits in the corner of the master suite for no practical reason, which is reason enough.

Coastal Villa
Malibu Clifftop
📍 Malibu, California
Ninety feet above the Pacific on a promontory that catches the sunset from every room. The pool cantilevers over the edge. The master bathroom has a wall of glass facing the ocean and no curtains because no one is watching.
6,200 sq ftSingle level
5 beds5 baths
Est. value$28M
🏔️
Mountain Retreat
Aspen Glass House
📍 Aspen, Colorado
Built into a south-facing slope at 8,200 feet. The structure is mostly glass and structural steel — the mountain is the interior designer. In winter the view is a study in white. In summer it's wildflowers to the treeline.

6 beds7 baths
Est. value$35M
🌿
Tropical Estate
Kauai North Shore
📍 Hanalei, Hawaii
Twelve acres on the wettest coast in America — which means twelve acres of the most saturated green you will ever see. The main house is open to the trade winds year-round. The guest cottage sits above a taro field that has been farmed for 800 years.

Desert Compound
Scottsdale Pavilions
📍 Paradise Valley, Arizona
Four connected pavilions on three acres of Sonoran desert. The architecture uses the same rammed earth and steel as the landscape. At night, the only light visible from the main terrace is the Milky Way and a single lamp in the guest house.

🏰
Historic Estate
Hudson Valley Manor
📍 Rhinebeck, New York
An 1847 Italianate mansion on 40 acres above the Hudson River. Restored over seven years without changing the bones. The original plaster medallions are intact. The kitchen is the one room that looks like it belongs to this century.
11,000 sq ftThree floors
