From the Agent: "This tranquil oasis was designed and built by an entertainment industry couple, professional set builders and decorators for many years, as a personal refuge for themselves. An open floor plan connects public and private spaces under a single rectangular roof plane, with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that blur the boundary between indoors and out, extending the living space out into the native landscape. Outside, a separate standalone structure doubles as guesthouse or art studio. Contemporary finishes throughout the house define a minimalist modern aesthetic: white walls accented by bookmatched walnut panels, dramatic custom cabinetry, European fixtures, hardwood floors, and a tile-clad wet room."

Heinz Legler and Veronique Lievre began this project after creating a boutique hotel named Verana outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
