EVENT: Luxe Magazine Panel - The Art of Luxury Homes

We recently had the pleasure of hosting industry colleagues in our showroom for a panel to discuss The Art of Luxury Homes with Luxe Magazine. Our panelists included Bob Swatt of Swatt Miers Architects, Lisa Staprans of Staprans Design, Jeff King of Jeff King Construction, Stefan Thuilot of Thuilot Associates, and Anthony Bartorillo from our vendor partner Reynaers Aluminum Windows & Doors. The panel was moderated by Luxe Magazine's San Francisco Homes Editor, Mary Jo Bowling.

The panelists discussed what homeowners are looking for when building luxury properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Topics included sustainability, material selections, design collaboration across all disciplines involved, and of course, lead times of products. Anthony Bartorillo from Reynaers shared insight on how there has been increased demand for home automation, including the success of Reynaers Hi-Finity doors.
