About

Jeff Hillis
Founder | CEO
From a young age, Jeff Hillis showed a natural talent for visualizing spaces, taking note of the smallest details and they can work as catalysts in transforming our surroundings. Beginning his career with a hands-on approach to renovating and reviving spaces, Jeff hones his skills through various development projects, drawing inspiration from the emotional connections we form with our homes and how various elements work in parallel to create a well-designed space.
Based in Scottsdale, Jeff has dedicated his career to mastering the craft of designing, building and developing custom luxury homes, helping clients to envision their dream spaces and bringing them to life through knowledgeable design choices and an ongoing commitment to making your home the best it can be.
With projects that have received national recognition and awards including a Gold Nugget for Best Renovated or Restored Single House in 2018, Jeff’s approach to building incorporates thoughtful consideration to sustainability efforts while recognizing the importance of innovation. From knowing when to invest to understanding when to scale back, his keen eye for curating the very best in quality materials brings an artful balance of function and style to each project with efficiency, foresight and meticulous attention-to-detail.
Through a keen sense of leadership Jeff has successfully led a dynamic team of dedicated professionals through over 150 projects garnering widespread acclaim and an understanding of one thing above all else: there is perhaps nothing more satisfying than seeing one’s dream home come to fruition.
