He Built a Luxury Home… Here’s Where He Saved Money
30m
What happens when an architect and interior designer has the opportunity to build a brand-new home on a historic property?
In Jonathan’s case, he chose NOT to create another ultra-modern new build. Instead, he designed a home that honors the history of the property with Art Deco details, Old Hollywood glamour, traditional architecture, and timeless design… all while still incorporating modern conveniences and a few seriously CLEVER design ideas.
In this luxury home tour, I’m taking you inside Jonathan’s stunning Tulsa, Oklahoma home and sharing the thought process behind the architecture and interior design. From historic proportions and symmetry to dramatic lighting, beautiful millwork, statement stone, custom details, and those little touches that make a new home feel like it has been here for generations.
We also uncover some fantastic high-end design hacks and luxury-for-less ideas along the way. Jonathan shares how making strategic design decisions and being intentional about where to spend and where to save helped him create a truly luxurious home without simply throwing money at everything.
This home has it all: timeless luxury design, scale and proportion, architectural character, intentional design, and showcases how to create a home that truly supports the way you live.
If you love seeing how the principles of good design can transform a house into a home, I have something very exciting coming...
