Design intent, carried through construction
This cedar shingle estate shows how architecture, material choices, site planning, and construction sequencing must work together. The defining idea is visible in the finished home because it was protected through coordination, detailing, and execution—not treated as a decorative layer added at the end.
Jon Bijari Custom Homes approaches every residence as a complete system. Structure, envelope, interiors, exterior spaces, budgets, schedules, and homeowner decisions are coordinated around the same architectural intent.

The Builder's Perspective
Quality begins before work reaches the site
High-end residential construction depends on early decisions. Drawings need to be coordinated, difficult details need to be resolved, selections need to support the schedule, and the budget needs to reflect what the homeowner actually intends to build.
That preparation continues on site through consistent supervision, communication with the design team, and close attention to the transitions between trades. Those interfaces—stone to window, cabinetry to lighting, interior to terrace—are where a custom home either feels resolved or reveals its compromises.
Built for the way the home will be lived in
A successful custom residence is not only visually strong. Circulation, natural light, storage, comfort, maintenance, technology, and outdoor connections all need to work together. Jon's role as builder is to carry those priorities from planning through the final walk-through.
