The Architect — Greg Klein

The estate at 92 Chamisal Pass was designed by Greg Klein Architect, a renowned architect and illustrator with over 30 years of experience. Awarded the prestigious Plym Fellowship for Architecture in 1994, Greg spent four months studying revitalization projects across Europe before dedicating the past two decades to residential architecture that bridges classic design with modern living.

His portfolio spans luxury estates across California — from Carmel Valley and Laguna Beach to Atherton, Lake Tahoe, and Sonoma vineyard country. Greg’s work is recognized for combining timeless craftsmanship (hammered iron, hand-scraped hardwoods) with modern technology (wireless controls, waterjet detailing), creating homes that feel both remarkable and remarkably comfortable.
