John’s “Modern With a Rustic Mask” home was designed with his wife’s wishes in mind. Behind the Rustic exterior “Mask” you will find a Modern interior with a tropical garden and outdoor pool. The design includes bronze accents and polished marble. The space consists of a primary bedroom, primary bathroom, two guest bedrooms and bathrooms, plus an entertaining area.

John’s interest in building and design sparked at a very young age. He remembers constructing forts and houses with blocks in kindergarten and the fondness for designing and building never ended.

John later attended the University of Kentucky and studied Architecture. Today, you can find him creating beautiful and unique homes for his wide variety of clients at JHR Design.
