In addition to Stratton Architects, Nova will feature the “who’s who” of luxury construction and design, including builder Arcadia Custom Builders, interior designer Holly Wright Design, lighting by Creative Designs in Lighting and landscaping from Berghoff Design Group.
“I loved the direction and focus of the architecture for this home and that it emphasized classic elements, but with a more modern scale and fresh approach,” said Holly Wright of Holly Wright Design. “I wanted to bring those elements into the interiors as well. I used classic finishes and approaches to tie into the architecture but then pushed modern detailing and unique proportions to make it feel fresh and more inventive.”
