Renaissance Château
Mediterranean Villa
Architectural Model for Ray's Malibu Canyon House
This is a residence that was literally sculpted inside and out. I converted the original home into a Sculpting
Studio. After everything was cast the home was removed making way for this lake front Tahoe Château.  
This was once a boxy  70's track home  built upon a incredible mountain top .
My clients bought this place with the dream that it could be transformed.They had Faith in my skills and persevered
through thick and thin and did not give up their dream. This light filled home is now the gallery for the families
incredible ancestral art collection.
This home was designed for Raymond Enkebolle one of the most artistic people I have ever known.   When I met him I
did not know that he had already gone through a handful of architects. Ray showed me the latest plans and asked me  for
an honest opinion sparing no diplomacy. I told him the design just didn't sing for me. He turned beet red. I thought I had
totally blown it. He then said OK what would you do . Totally off the hip I said I would put the stream coming down
from the waterfall flowing through the main living space and build the house to look like the natural indigenous rock
formations . We worked on the design for 1 year. Sadly Ray died just before we started construction.
