The residence was designed by Bradford Davis with architect Nicholas Palter of Palter/Donzelli Design. Luke Gilligan of Gilligan Construction was the General Contractor in charge of construction. Paul O’Kane created the custom steel and glass railings. Custom windows and doors were created by Loewen Windows of Canada.
