We are thrilled to share that Jacob Rimatzki was recently featured in Voyage Michigan Magazine, an outlet dedicated to highlighting the most inspiring stories and "hidden gems" across our local creative community. In this candid interview, Jacob dives into his roots - from his dual degree in Interior and Industrial Design at Wayne State University to the years he spent refining his craft at premier luxury firms before launching his own practice. The Evolution of Excellence Th

In the modern luxury estate, technology is no longer an amenity - it is the heartbeat of the home. It manages our climate, secures our boundaries, and curates our entertainment. Yet, for the discerning homeowner, there is a paradox: we crave the seamless lifestyle that high-tech integration provides, but we loathe the aesthetic clutter that usually accompanies it. The "black box" on the wall, the tangle of wires behind a console, and the intrusive plastic sensors of years pas

For decades, the "home gym" was an architectural afterthought - a windowless corner of a basement filled with mismatched equipment and rubber mats. But for the modern high-net-worth individual, health is the ultimate luxury, and the environment in which we pursue it should reflect that. We are seeing a definitive shift away from the "basement gym" toward the Wellness Suite. This is a dedicated, high-design sanctuary that treats fitness and recovery with the same aesthetic rev

In the world of high-end residential design, there is a distinct moment when a house stops being a construction project and begins to feel like a masterpiece. It isn’t when the drywall is hung or the marble is polished. It is the moment the hardware is installed and the lighting is energized. We call these elements Structural Jewelry. Just as a rare watch or a bespoke piece of jewelry completes a tailored suit, the tactile, machined details of a home provide the final, defini

In the upper echelons of residential design, a chair is rarely just a place to sit, and a dining table is never just a surface for a meal. They are chapters in a larger story - your story. At our studio, we believe that the most successful interiors are those that act as a visual narrative. This is the essence of the Living Legacy: creating an environment so

For the high-net-worth individual, time is the only truly finite resource. When embarking on the construction of a multi-million dollar estate-whether it’s a sprawling lakefront property in Michigan or a sleek, sun-drenched retreat in Tampa-the dream of a bespoke home can quickly turn into a second full-time job. Between the architectural revisions, the municipal permits, the landscape coordination, and the granular details of interior millwork, the "joy of creation" often ge

There's a palpable stillness to a truly new-build home. It’s perfect, pristine, and often… a little soulless. It has the architectural precision, the high-gloss finishes, and the masterfully executed structural design, but it lacks history. It lacks character. That’s where the magic of the global find comes in. In the world of ultra-luxury residential design - the multi-million-dollar estates we work on from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast - the defining element of a "maste
