Wisconsin

In the early 1900s, famed Boston architect Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, was charged with designing a new lakeside retreat for the Harris Family, the founding family of Harris Bank and Trust. The site chosen for this new vacation home was a bucolic, undulating lakefront parcel on the north shore, where Snake Road dipped and weaved across the hilly countryside just beyond The Newport Of The West, the city of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The Olmsted Brothers provided the landscaping design, replete with ponds and gardens, meandering pathways and resting perches, all leading visitors through the dense native woods to the level shoreline.

England

Victory House is a prime Kensington architectural masterpiece.

It features five bedrooms plus study, six bathroom/shower rooms with underfloor heating and an abundance of lateral living and entertaining space spanning over 6,373 square-feet.

This Palace is exceptional for the great combination between tradition, modernity, architecture, quality of the materials, and art of mixing colors.
