blown away by our 2009 Boulevard of Dreams homes. And we’re pretty sure you will be, too.
Right after we completed our 2007 Boulevard of Dreams Homes Tour, we were back at it,
securing the community and homes you’ll be seeing this month. Our initial meetings with the developers of Cedar Creek made us feel right at home, and we knew the community would be perfect for hosting our three show homes. We brought on different builders, as well, confident in their ability to give us something to swoon over. And, boy, did they! Although I could never play favorites, I definitely have my top picks of special places. First,

I can’t get over how creative and, yes, even private The Prairie Stone’s front landscape is. The

waterfall and bridge in conjunction with the courtyard highlighted by a stone entry make quite the impression whether you’re arriving for the first time or the hundredth. Second, who wouldn’t love to snuggle up and spend the entire weekend in The Monaco’s master suite — it’s like visiting the glamorous side of Paris without leaving the States. The crystal, marble and silks are practically divine. No husband necessary; invite your girlfriends instead to this feminine retreat. Finally, The Nantucket’s kitchen and surrounding spaces induce giddiness with their natural light and happy colors that make everyday living fun. Even in the laundry room, I wouldn’t mind doing my most dreaded house chore: ironing. Yuck…oh wait, yay! While each home is the epitome of luxury home building and the source of many of the latest design trends, perhaps what’s most impressive is how distinct their styles are from one another — rustic, French, coastal…something for everyone. Like I said before, you’re going to love this year’s tour. Come check it out!

CH&G’s 2009 Boulevard of Dreams Homes Tour is not just about the

beautiful homes designed and built to impress — each sold ticket helps raise money for local children in need. More than 150,000 kids have been
impacted by distributions from our charity partner, the Love Fund for Children, since the organization’s inception 27 years ago. Jim Thomas, who has served as the board’s enthusiastic president since 2003, sees the homes tour as a first-class event in a quality neighborhood that will offer attendees a vivid snapshot of the Love Fund. “Our volunteers will be hosting the tour; that person-to-person contact with the public is invaluable and indispensable,” he says. The Love Fund for Children started in 1982 with popular WDAF-TV anchor Cynthia Smith launching an on-air segment called “Thursday’s Child” that featured foster children from Kansas City needing adoptive homes. The station began receiving small donations from a concerned public, and Cynthia approached
OLIVIA, 6, CARLEIGH, 8, AND GABBY, 9
Jim and other influential community leaders to form an independent group to oversee funds. Eventually “Thursday’s Child” morphed into the Love Fund for Children and has raised approximately $5.5 million for children in need; at any given time, the Fund has between $250,000 and $350,000 available for requests. “The Love Fund elevates public awareness for funds, goods and services for children in need, ages 18 and under,” says Joyce Eacock, director of special events. Funds cover anything from eyeglasses, medical equipment and beds to abuse counseling, dental treatments and myriad other needs. “We rely on a vast network of case workers, medical professionals and other third-party professionals to be our eyes and ears in the community. They observe, identify and validate a need, then apply to the Love Fund for assistance on behalf of a child in their care,” Joyce says. She also notes that the Love Fund’s mission is crucial in these modern times of government budget-cutting. “As more government programs are eliminated or budgets are severely reduced, children’s needs still exist. Without our fundraising efforts, the thousands of children we serve each year would not receive help,” she says.

to Jim. The board meets monthly to determine how to distribute donations to requests on the docket, and the Love Fund League, a group of dedicated and exceptional volunteers comprised of men and women of various ages and gifts, supports the mission to improve children’s lives in whatever way it can. The Love Fund operates with the FOX 4 station’s encouragement and support. The organization’s office is physically located at WDAF with its 2.5-person administrative staff, including Executive Director Lisa Herron. FOX 4 also assists in volunteer personnel, disseminating public

(Toni), and their team brainstormed ideas for the floor plan and numerous creative
features that you see today. “One special feature is the exterior,” says architect Gerald Janssen. “The ‘Colorado lodge’ look is a particularly fun part about this house.” Logs and timbers retrieved from the Riekes’ own land that accent the interior of the house are examples of the extra time and detail spent on this home. Bruce and his trim carpenters hand-scraped them themselves — “which is kind of fun,” he adds — giving the logs a unique look and adding to the overall Western theme. With their longstanding contractors and designer, the B.L. Rieke team worked roundBRUCE RIEKE

the-clock to get the house done by tour time, and nothing says teamwork better than a finished product that everyone can be pleased with. “We have such a talented group of people,” Toni says. “It took all of them to get where we are. It’s a really neat working environment — they’re all like family.” Bruce also adds that this team earned accolades for a previous home they built in Cedar Creek last year, winning an award for it during the 2008 Fall Parade of Homes. Likewise, the Prairie Stone staff is proud to return to the community and looks forward to this year’s fundraiser that benefits the Love Fund for Children. BRUCE AND TONI RIEKE, B.L. RIEKE & ASSOCIATES Bruce Rieke grew up working in his family’s concrete foundation company. By being

involved in the family business, he became directly connected to the construction industry, and this year, celebrates his 20th year in the home-building business. Toni has been the interior designer of all their model homes for the past 15 years. “Bruce and I work well together,” she says. Beginning simply as the bookkeeper, she has been exclusively involved in all of the architectural design from the beginning to the end of construction, as well as the interior merchandising. When the husband and wife team aren’t working together, they enjoy spending time with their 17-year-old daughter, Savannah, and 8-year-old son, Antone, whom they adopted from Guatemala. You can find them hanging out at home fishing, hunting, gardening and riding four-wheelers. GERALD JANSSEN, ELSWOOD SMITH CARLSON ARCHITECTS Graduating from Kansas State University in 1977 with a degree in architecture, Gerald Janssen worked with a few firms before settling with Elswood Smith Carlson Architects in 1980. “I was really interested in residential design, and I’ve been doing houses ever since,” he says. Architecture aside, he spends his free time gardening and collecting and shopping for retro furniture with his wife, Kay, a hobby they started a decade ago. Completing this dynamic household, his daughter, Rachel, is a sophomore at Kansas State University, interested in becoming a teacher, and high-school senior, Greg, is interested in visual arts/broadcast journalism.

RON RATLIFF AND RANDY BRYANT, BRYANT-RATLIFF CONSTRUCTION Work aside, Ron Ratliff is a family man. He and his family — wife, Cheryl, and daughter, Ashley — like to spend as much time as possible at their lake house at the Ozarks. Golfing and boating are two of Ron’s favorite hobbies, as well as gardening and listening to music — sometimes both at the same time. Randy Bryant, Ron’s business partner, enjoys the same family activities with his wife, Kim, and two sons, Cole and Davin. But when it comes to work, it’s the strong partnership that’s kept the company successful for so long — Ron works closely with each client and creates the design, while Randy works with the subcontractors and builds the product. “We like to do stuff that nobody else does, and we take everything to the max,” Ron says.
PATRIC TIERNEY
PATRIC TIERNEY, AIA Biking every weekend, hiking, skiing and backpacking with friends — yes, this is the side of architect Patric Tierney that most Kansas Citians don’t see. His less active interests include photography and reading. “I take pictures of work I’ve done and vacations we’ve been on,” he says. That means a lot of photos, since he and his wife, Vicki, have been married for 30 years. Their oldest daughter, Jennifer, followed in her father’s footsteps, recently graduating with a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Kansas, while her two other siblings, Jessica and Sean, are in college. Patric graduated in 1982 from Iowa State University with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in architecture and has owned his own firm since ’89, after the company he worked for closed its doors. “It was as good a time as any [to start a business], and I’ve

been working this way ever since,” he says. “I love designing homes for people, and I hope to never retire.” JOANN ROMANO, ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS “Yes, I have blueprints in my back pocket, plans in my notebook, creative ideas in my head and glaze under my nails,” JoAnn Romano says with a smile. “I’m not the typical designer.” In her seventh year in the business as a designer and faux finisher (with education ranging from JCCC, Chicago and Italy), she’s not afraid to get dirty and neither is her husband of 25 years, Dale, a third-generation master tile setter. When the two aren’t working side by side on the job site, they enjoy traveling and discovering architecture in other parts of the country and around the world. “I love to see the hand of the artist in architecture,” she says. 2009 BOULEVARD OF DREAMS • 47

on. The Nantucket is the result of a focus group of representative homeowners who
gave input on what was important to them in a home. Their answers contributed to the fresh layout seen inside and out. “We all worked together as a team, developing the concept to the final design you see built today,” says architect Scott Bickford. The intricate planning process has been beneficial for all involved. “We were looking for a way to market our focus group house plan, bring attention to the Love Fund and hopefully make everybody winners in the end,” builder Rick Forner says.
RICK FORNER
JAMES LAVOY
RICK FORNER AND JAMES LAVOY, FORNER-LAVOY BUILDERS Rick Forner has been in the building industry for more than 20 years, starting his own construction company years ago. But after building a home in 1999 for client James LaVoy, who has a background in business management and information technology consulting, a partnership began. These days, Rick and his wife keep busy with their two sons. When he’s not attending a Cub or Boy Scouts meeting, he trades in his tool belt for helmets or skis. “I like riding dirt bikes, water and snow skiing, and I’m a wine enthusiast,” Rick says. “I’m an old California boy who was raised on a motorcycle. It was my first love.” James shares Rick’s love of wine as well as family activities like coaching his daughter’s and son’s baseball, softball and football teams. If not coaching or woodworking, he’s hard at work making sure all office, sales and marketing efforts run flawlessly for Forner-

LaVoy. “I try to use my experience as a homeowner to bring that perspective to our processes and approach, improving the experience for our customers,” he explains. SCOTT BICKFORD AND LYLE BONN, BICKFORD + COMPANY Scott Bickford’s architecture firm has been around for 29 years, known metro-wide for designing homes that people around Kansas City immediately recognize and appreciate. But he doesn’t do it alone. He has a team of 14, and designer Lyle Bonn is one of them. Lyle’s background includes drawing, drafting and art, and with such experience, it’s not hard to believe it was his concept that ultimately resulted in the floor plan for The Nantucket. Scott, a seasoned architect, especially when it comes to the Boulevard of Dreams homes (he designed two of the houses for the 2007 tour), has been doing this for a long time, and it’s easy to see he loves what he does. When time allows for him to be away

GAIL GOLDEN, ALLIED MEMBER ASID, HOBSON INTERIORS After being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years, Gail Golden decided to return to the workforce. She graduated from the Pierce School of Interior Design and took jobs with a couple firms during a 10-year span. She landed at Hobson Interiors in 1986, right after the Kansas City store opened its doors to the public. (The Clinton, Mo.-based store has been around for more than 50 years.) For the past 33 years, she has enjoyed her career path and appreciates her involvement in projects like the Boulevard of Dreams. “Building one large home and being solely responsible [for the design] is a big challenge and honor, and with this type of home, I thought it would be a lot of fun, and it has been,” she says. 2009 BOULEVARD OF DREAMS • 49

A REGAL WELCOME Step inside the front entryway and the drama unfolds right before your eyes. It begins seductively with an open-knot wooden newel post then a flight of 16 cherry wood treads each faced with travertine tile. It’s no ordinary staircase, featuring grooved, tree-bark iron balustrades that emulate the naturalistic theme throughout the house. Climbing past a fauxpainted niche framing that special piece of favored art, this winding staircase is the epitome of elegance.
ELEGANT REPAST Keeping guests interested in the dining room will come not only from the cook’s hand but by the inventive wall treatment dressed in layers of warm copper-colored luster. Under the ceiling designed with a wheel of wood beams, the focus here is a weighty black carved table surrounded by six upholstered chairs. A recessed niche holds the buffet topped with a hexagonal mirror that reflects three 10-foot by 10-foot hand-hewn fir timbers that visually separate this room from the adjoining public spaces. Anchoring the furnishings is a tightly woven Berber carpet inset into a 12-inch ribbon of Brazilian cherry wood.

GRATEFUL GATHERINGS Multiple pathways lead to the heart of the home: the kitchen. This is a space that concentrates on details designed to make cooking a delight. “I love the chiseled-edge granite farmhouse sink and the intricate metallic tile design in the rough-slate backsplash. Bruce really likes the idea of a coffee service area that’s tucked into its own niche by the fridge. Everything in this kitchen is conveniencedriven,” Toni says. Bruce’s signature design starts with knotty cherry cabinets rubbed with a black stain, glazed then sealed in a velvet-soft finish. Each self-closing cabinet is accented with handmade bronze pulls. Complementing the dark metal is a dramatic, form-fitting copper vent hood designed just for this space. A recessed tray ceiling — another signature design for the builder — is accented with mosaic slate tile and five pendant task lights. “We think the whole space is dynamic, but in addition to the beautiful granite-topped island, what many people will notice is the brick archway highlighted by ledge stone columns at the breakfast bar,” Bruce says.
RELAX AND RETREAT Retire after a long day into this inviting study that begs you to sit a spell. Bruce blended a variety of textures within a soothing palette of earthy neutrals that will undoubtedly cause you to linger. A solid brick fireplace surround is the perfect backdrop for a hand-hewn timber mantel Bruce made from a trunk found on his property. Combined with a tongue-andgroove vaulted ceiling and bronze-toned walls, here’s a study to contemplate.

DEFINED BY DETAILS Great rooms are so named because they are just that…great. This one manages to impress without overwhelming. It all starts with the unique double-turn ceiling fan, which is a conversation point in itself, but then again, so is the alder mantel detailed with rifle casings.
Real, not veneered, Apache ledge stone at the hearth and kitchen columns flanks the room with rustically elegant texture. In turn, the stonework perfectly complements the satiny knotty alder wood trim and Brazilian cherry wood floor. Niches include a display shelf backed with slate and a custom cabinet designed to hold a 54-inch television. “The woods are such a bonus for this lot, permitting so much privacy that we decided to leave this beautiful bank of nine windows minimally dressed,” Toni adds.
DINNER IS SERVED No matter how big or small the house, family and friends inevitably end up in the kitchen, “so we designed this room to accommodate a crowd,” Bruce says. It’s easy enough to use the warming oven or beverage center situated in the oversized island. Then, when dinnertime rolls around, simply serve directly to the kitchen table with seating for eight. Like the adjacent great room, this room features an expansive 14-foot bank of windows overlooking acres of scenic woods. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE

WHY LEAVE HOME? There’s a whole lot of fun to be had in this 2,000-square-foot recreation center loaded with eye candy. Maybe it’s the impressive water-glass-fronted wine cellar or the 400-pound hand-hewn pine logs that carve up the space into three distinct areas: bar, media and recreation area. All in all, this casual and unique room begins the moment you realize you’ve stepped into a bit of rustic heaven. Noticeably, prints representing life on the farm and oils of the Wild West painted by Jeannie Pflumm set the stage for bellying up to the granite-topped, semicircular bar. Three pendant lights illuminate the stacked stone bar and intricately designed mosaic-tiled soffit. An 80-inch home theater is specifically designed for those who won’t be able to budge from the cushy leather seating. Then again, when the mood strikes, there’s always a game of billiards waiting nearby.

WALK THIS WAY Once you pass through the stacked stone archway, softly lit with dancing spiral gas flames, a private courtyard awaits near the front door.
A WORLD APART Neighbors and their background noise melt away in the private front yard’s verdant landscape highlighted by a water feature reminiscent of a Colorado mountain stream.

SMART THINKING Forget scurrying back and forth during dinner. Once the meal is ready, park everything on this handsome, chiselededge granite buffet outlined in brick. Designed to glamorize guests (not to mention the food) with a bold bronze mirror, everything will be waiting until you’re ready to light the candles.
EVERYTHING AL FRESCO Cook. Eat. Drink. Watch TV. Watch the flames. Watch the sun set. Take a dip in the spa. The indoors ain’t got nothing you can’t get outside.

STRESS RELIEF Close off the world in this majestic master suite. Tucked under a vaulted, copper-colored beamed ceiling, the room is comfortably inviting. Not too big, not too small. Its adjoining bath feels similar, without losing any luxurious amenities. His-and-her vanities — check. Deep tub for soaking — check. A closet any woman would kill for — check.

WELCOME! You’ll be greeted by a dramatic French-inspired foyer surrounded by an elegant dining room with faux metallic ceiling, a masculine office and a prominent staircase with triptych painting that JoAnn named “Gardens of Versi.” “When you walk in, it’s the ‘wow’ factor,” JoAnn says. “You feel like you’re at home but transported to a French hamlet.”
TAKE FIVE Past the foyer, the great room is more intimate, with seating for late-night chats and a front-row view overlooking the bluffs. The fireplace is a knockout focal point, surrounded by gorgeous onyx tile. Display niches illuminated by light boxes above flank the hearth. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE

CHEF’S DELIGHT “The house has entertainment and private zones but concentrates on the large hearth room and kitchen,” says architect Patric Tierney. Fully loaded, this kitchen includes two dishwashers, one a pan scrubber, the other all-purpose; a full-size refrigerator with refrigerated drawers; a separate freezer with freezer drawers; large island with built-in steamer and trough sink; warming drawer and oven; and bed & breakfast fireplace. Underneath it all are travertine tiles from Turkey.
PULL UP A CHAIR Though there’s plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen, the adjoining hearth room allows the family to be nearby but not in the way. At the center, a moss stone fireplace reaches from floor to ceiling, one of six in the house. “We say with every room we want to ‘max’ it out, so I don’t really have a favorite [space], but the kitchen/hearth room is taken to the next level because you have everything you’ll need and more,” Ron says.

LUSH ADDITION To entertain a group or just yourself, easy access to the wine bar is a very good thing. With its wine fridge and custom racks, you can store several bottles on hand. Plus, it looks great with one of the unique mosaics, copper sink and its own tiny chandelier tucked under a bank of architectural windows. What’s left but to raise your glass to a good time?

JUST A TOUCH-UP On your way to the master bedroom, don’t overlook the half bath, with a painted Bombay chest vanity and an eight-layer wall finish that’s embedded with crystal beads. “This is the most impressive half bath we’ve completed as a team,” Ron says.
NATURE’S CALLING Outdoor living is hot, and so is this lanai when the fireplace gets going. Enjoy nature during any season with this screened-in space off the main level or just use it for its Wolf grill included in the outdoor kitchen. Access it from the skywalk linking it to the driveway or the 8-foot-wide entry when both sliding glass doors are open.

SUITE PEACEFULNESS After moving into the master bedroom, you may want to do just that … move in. Striking in a simple palette of neutral whites and real crystal chandeliers (all crystal you see in this house is real), its serenity is both lulling and invigorating, its femininity obvious. Wanting to create spaces that would suit both genders, JoAnn says, “We balanced the femininity of the master bedroom with the masculinity of the office.” The atmosphere seeps into the luxuriously appointed bath, which has an oversized tub set in a marble tub deck; walk-in shower with custom glass enclosure; custom curved hisand-her vanities; and a room-sized closet complete with a safe room strategically located behind a fulllength mirror, with telephone and Internet access.

HAVE A GLASS An archway spanning two beverage refrigerators leads into a wine cellar complete with a table for private tastings and custom wine racks Bryant-Ratliff built for bottles of all shapes and sizes. Though not temperature-regulated, a brick tile floor and stone walls surrounding the second archway give the space a real “cellar” effect.
78 • WWW.KCHANDG.COM
PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES If you’re in the mood to close off the rest of the world, head to the back of the lower level where you’ll find the home theater. The plush purple carpet and oversized chairs are ready to take you to another place. Get lost in a movie on the 100inch projection screen or contemplate the cosmos looking up at the starry night constellation. The projector is hidden, and the walls have a faux suede finish that absorbs sound. Just pull the curtains shut (actually they’re remote-controlled) and enjoy the surround sound from the comfort of your own couch. “This is how a theater should be,” Ron says.
STAY AWHILE Builder Randy Bryant’s favorite part of the house is the downstairs kitchen/bar area (which makes for three full kitchens total) and hearth room, which mimics the layout on the main level. This kitchen offers additional bar seating, shimmery Cosmos granite countertops, under-counter lighting, a copper backsplash, double oven, induction cook top, warming drawer, dishwasher, ice maker, full wine and beer refrigerators, a hidden keg beer tap, and, another pleasant surprise, a flat-screen TV concealed behind a mirror in the cabinets.

CLEAN-LINED KITCHEN A Hamptons-style home is about simplicity — no froufrou allowed. But that’s not to say it can’t be gorgeous. The kitchen is a perfect example, dressed in crisp white cabinets with punches of cheery paint colors on the island and end cabinet. Its practical size still contains more than the usual number of luxury brands, with space for an overflow of goods in the nearby pantry, where an extra fridge and adjustable shelves await. Details like a subtle glass listello in the backsplash, apron-front sink and display plate rack add up big time. What’s even bigger, though, is the 10-foot by 5-foot knotty alder island with a reclaimed chestnut top and room for two low barstools on one side. “It’s so much more comfortable if the island’s not raised,” designer Gail Golden says.

POP GOES THE EASEL Most of the trim is plain and the baseboards deep in this casual, coastal home, but the wainscoting is meant to stand out. The breakfast room’s vertical stripes took hours of careful strokes to create this fabulous effect. Also take note of the visual pop between the stained doors and windows and the white outer trim that makes them recede.
DINING AT SEA In a serendipitous moment, Gail walked into the dining room during construction and saw the potential of a half-framed barrel ceiling. Instead of finishing it with drywall, she and Rick decided to turn it into a delightful detail reminiscent of a ship’s hull. “I knew this house wasn’t going to be very formal. If it was, this wouldn’t have worked,” Rick notes. Fortunately, it does — and very well.
94 • WWW.KCHANDG.COM
WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK Mudrooms are the must-have space in new homes today, but this one leaps from utilitarian to fun-ctional. Birch and maple cabinets make a contrasting statement next to a colorful ceramic tile backsplash and Spearmint-colored walls. The black-stained birch helps transition to the laundry room’s black-and-white checkered floor and black granite countertops. Watered-down paint on the random-planked wainscoting allows the wood grain to show through five alternating coastal colors.
NOT JUST FOR THE BUTLER Warm wood cabinets are offset by a sparkling seacolored recycled glass countertop, cobalt glass tile “wave” flourish in the floor and accent coastal tiles in the backsplash. Functional for more than storage, this transitional space houses a beverage fridge, wine fridge and bar sink with push-button disposal. In the background, you may notice the contemporary graphic pattern in the back hallway, and no, it’s not wallpaper. Faux painter Twyla Olson-Hahn perked up the “friend’s entrance” using colors selected from the house with metallic gold and silver undertones. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE
2009 BOULEVARD OF DREAMS • 95
A GREAT GREAT ROOM A single great room — not a separate formal living room and hearth room — is the main gathering space in the home. Its soaring height and ship lap siding is capped with two silver chandeliers and a simple yet elegant fireplace. The TV is craftily blended into the background behind cabinets so that the main focus is the conversation area punctuated by facing sofas and oversized chairs surrounding a deep shag rug.
OUTSIDE ANYTIME Three sets of French doors open to the upper-level lanai (a direct copy is below), outfitted with a wicker furniture set and backed by an iron trellis with stone planter box beneath. Once the hibiscus plants and mandevilla vines are established, they will create more privacy so the future homeowners will be able to eat, watch TV and relax by the fire in seclusion. 96 • WWW.KCHANDG.COM
YES, MASTER Stepping away from the public space and the coastal palette, the master suite transitions into a more contemporary retreat in luscious mocha, with glamorous crystal and silver accents. The room is comfortably sized and adorned, featuring tailored Roman shades and a built-in chest.
INTENSE STUDY Wood paneling oozes masculinity in this office tucked off the living room. While the stone fireplace flickers, you can get a lot accomplished in this powerful space. Behind the substantial desk, the middle bookcase pushes inward to reveal a closet for hiding cords, printers, files and other office paraphernalia that could clutter the room. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE
2009 BOULEVARD OF DREAMS • 97
POSH PREPARATION A similar style flows from the bedroom into the bath, where the elements of design pop in abundant natural light. A double slipper claw foot tub grabs the spotlight against a towering wall whose other side is a doubleentry walk-in shower. A sophisticated wallpaper matches the Emperador dark marble countertops and travertine floor — heated, of course — and punches of stainless brushed “pennies” behind the tub, coffee bar and makeup vanity.
98 • WWW.KCHANDG.COM
GOING DOWN A curved concrete staircase arrives at the lower level, with hopes of someday wearing gently worn dips in the treads, like you’d find in an old monastery. The split foundation basement offers two darling kids’ bedrooms for a boy and girl, as well as a nook for billiards, featuring vertical paneling and a lowered, curved ceiling that was a thoughtful solution to the mechanics that would otherwise be in the way. Down more steps is a secluded guest suite, bar, wine cellar and living space with a 102-inch projection screen.
