Our team approached Refined Retreat as a holistic design journey—elevating the experience at every turn while honoring the client’s desire for resort-level amenities with personal, residential warmth. Collaborating with Otero Signature Homes from the ground up, we crafted a home that unfolds with clarity and drama—from the grand barreled ceiling and floating staircase to the dual-island kitchen and custom glass railings. Carefully considered architectural details, like kerf-accented columns and inset tray ceilings, offer rhythm and refinement throughout. The primary suite offers a spa-like escape, while the gym opens directly onto the pool pavilion—merging wellness with luxury. Each finish, fixture, and furnishing was curated to support a lifestyle of seamless hosting, daily comfort, and enduring beauty. This project is a reflection of what’s possible when scale, intention, and experience come together under one roof.
Refined Retreat was envisioned as a forever home—one that would feel like a resort, function like a legacy estate, and welcome guests at every scale. For our client, an insurance executive with grown children and grandchildren, the vision was rooted in ease, hospitality, and family connection. The sprawling 26,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style residence includes six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and purposefully defined wings to support multigenerational living. Designed for large-scale hosting, the lower level features a 150-person banquet hall with a full commercial kitchen, a theater, a lounge, and a national award-winning indoor pool with a swim-up bar—ideal for political events, family celebrations, or evenings of relaxation. From the cigar room to the nutrition bar, every space blends indulgence with intention.
