In Pine Ridge Estates, a glass-wrapped residence channels light, restraint and purpose across 7,800 square feet of modern indoor-outdoor living. Before the land was staked, Lana and Patrick Boyle knew what their home would feel like: open, elemental, precise. Three years later, their Pine Ridge Estates property delivers, with its glass-wrapped facade, warmed by wood and alive with light inside.

Great names in art live on through analysis of their work, the letters they left behind, the moments they chose to document.

For Daniel Lubner, legacy isn’t just something you inherit. It’s something you build—one relationship, one reinvention, one well-placed piece of furniture at a time.
