Southern Highlands Remodel - Where Craft Meets Scale
Some homes are built. This one was composed.
When Edgewood Collective was brought in to transform an 18,210-square-foot Southern Highlands estate into one of Las Vegas's defining residential statements, the mandate was clear: no detail too small, no space too large to tame. The result is a remodel that moves between modern architecture, contemporary restraint, and the warm plaster warmth of Santa Barbara design - all within a single, seamless sequence of rooms.
Eight bedrooms. Thirteen baths. A resort-style backyard. An entertainment level that rivals a private club. This is what it looks like when a residence is designed with no ceiling on imagination.
Grand Entrance
The First Statement
Before a single room is experienced, the entrance makes its declaration. We anchored the entry in a grand stone fireplace - floor-to-ceiling, hand-selected masonry - that commands the space without overwhelming it. The stone grounds the home in something permanent, something earned. From this threshold, every sightline through the main level was intentional: corridors that draw you forward, volumes that open at precisely the right moment.
The staircase rises with quiet drama. The architecture doesn't announce itself. It simply reveals itself.
Kitchen
The Heart of the Home, Elevated
A show-stopping kitchen was never in question - the question was how far to take it. We took it to the edge. Custom cabinetry runs the full length of the space, meeting professional-grade appliances and stone surfaces chosen for depth of character rather than uniformity. The island anchors the room as both a workspace and a gathering place, connecting seamlessly to the main living level and the outdoor dining beyond.
The kitchen flows. It doesn't just function - it performs.
Dining Room
Best Table In The City
The dining room was designed to feel like the best table in the city - intimate, intentional, impossible to leave, holds warmth and personality. We brought that energy into a formal space through layered lighting, rich material choices, and a scale that invites long evenings. The winery cellar flanks the dining room's entry - a visual and experiential prelude to every dinner.
Closet Suites
Dressed for the Life That Lives Here
A wardrobe of this scale deserves a home that matches it, and both primary closets were designed with that in mind from the very first sketch.
The first is all warmth and ceremony. Floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry in crisp white surrounds the room on every wall, with glass-front panels, brass hardware, and open shelving that keeps everything visible and intentional. Two marble-topped center islands with deep drawer banks run the length of the space, offering a surface for the kind of unhurried morning routine that a home like this invites.
Sculptural gold pendant fixtures hang above it all, giving the room the feeling of something between a boutique and a sanctuary.
The second closet moves in a different direction entirely. Deep slate cabinetry with integrated LED lighting lines both sides of the room, glass doors catching the glow from within. A marble-topped island anchors the center with its own vanity mirror, making the space fully self-contained. The lighting was designed to be as functional as it is atmospheric, bringing out the color and detail of everything stored within.
Together, the two closets reflect an understanding that the private spaces of a home matter just as much as the ones guests will see.
Primary Bath
The Rolls-Royce of Bathrooms, Crafted for a Select Few
Full slab marble runs floor to ceiling, selected for its movement and laid with the kind of continuity that only comes from sourcing stone with intention. The polished floors mirror the light that pours in from two framed windows, each one looking out to the landscape beyond. It is a room that feels as considered as any living space in the home, because it was treated as one.
At the center, a dual-entry glass shower anchored by multiple body jets and overhead rain heads occupies its own architectural moment within the marble surround. To one side, a freestanding soaking tub sits in quiet counterpoint. Dual vanities flank the room on opposing walls, each finished in warm white oak cabinetry with clean stone countertops and illuminated round mirrors that keep the light even and flattering at any hour.
A sculptural chandelier anchors the ceiling above it all, adding a softness that marble alone could never quite achieve.
This is where the day begins and ends, and Edgewood Collective built it to feel like both deserve something better than ordinary.
Winery Cellar
Curated in Glass and Stone
The cellar was built to be seen as much as used. Glass-fronted walls bring the collection into the conversation - a living display that bridges the dining room and the bar beyond. Custom racking, controlled climate, and dedicated tasting storage make it fully functional. The aesthetic was designed to blur the line between storage and art.
Full Bar
The Private Club Standard
Every detail of the full bar was sourced and specified as if opening a flagship establishment. Backlit shelving, custom millwork, stone countertops, and professional bar equipment sit beneath statement lighting that shifts the atmosphere from afternoon to evening effortlessly. This is a space designed for the owners - but one that will make every guest feel like they arrived somewhere.
Theater
State of the Art, by Design
The theater was engineered from the acoustics out. Acoustic panels were selected not just for performance but for their contribution to the room's atmosphere - the space feels like it belongs to the home rather than installed within it. Tiered seating, a 4K projection system, and full surround sound were specified to deliver a cinematic experience that renders any venue unnecessary. The lighting transitions in and out of presentation mode without effort.
Gym & Sauna
Recovery, Ritualized
The private gym occupies its own level with dedicated intention. Rubber-floored training zones, mirrored walls, and commercial-grade equipment give it the seriousness of a professional facility. Adjacent to the training space, private saunas - both traditional and steam - offer the recovery counterpoint. The design philosophy here was simple: build a space so well-considered that leaving it never crosses your mind.
The private infrared sauna was built with the same precision Edgewood Collective brings to every room in the home, because recovery is a discipline, and the space that holds it should honor that. Tongue-and-groove Canadian cedar lines every surface: walls, ceiling, benches. The wood was selected for its grain, its warmth, and its ability to hold heat without holding memory. It ages beautifully. It performs flawlessly.
Full-panel infrared emitters line three walls, delivering deep-tissue heat at the wavelengths that actually work. Not surface warmth, but the kind that reaches. The L-shaped bench configuration was designed for two: enough space to stretch, enough intimacy to be present. Underlit chromotherapy lighting shifts through the spectrum, tunable from energizing morning sessions to a slower, quieter wind-down at the end of the day.
Resort Backyard
The Backyard That Renders Resorts Optional
The outdoor program was built around a single idea: why leave? The centerpiece is a massive resort-style pool with a lazy river and waterslide, a water feature that operates at the scale of a boutique hotel amenity in a completely private setting. A sunken fire pit anchors the outdoor lounge, creating a gathering space that works year-round in the Las Vegas climate. A pickleball court brings competitive energy to the property's far edge, purpose-built and regulation-size.
Every square foot of this backyard was designed with the same intention as any room inside the home.
This is what Edgewood Collective builds - not just homes, but complete environments. Every room a decision. Every material a commitment. Every space a reason to stay.
