Urban Retreat is the culmination of a long design practice rooted in the belief that well-considered spaces shape how we live, think, and restore ourselves.

As the owner, I have led the creation and/or renovation of private homes and select commercial environments over decades, working closely with clients to translate aspiration into spaces that feel both intentional and deeply personal. Each project begins with listening and understanding patterns of daily life, emotional needs, and the subtle rituals that make a space feel inhabitable rather than merely finished.

The work is characterized by restraint, material intelligence, and a sensitivity to light, proportion, and atmosphere. Rather than pursuing trends, Urban Retreat projects prioritize longevity, comfort, and quiet clarity, resulting in environments that age gracefully and support lived experience.

This practice reflects a broader philosophy carried throughout my work: that design, at its best, creates refuge without retreating from the world, offering spaces that are grounded, humane, and enduring.

Services include architecture, design, budget development and construction management.
