A Vision Brought to Life
Artist Nabil Mousa’s vision for this once-abandoned building built in 1906 is brought to life using a kaleidoscope of color, texture, and historic materials, including brick and iron. Every inch of the space is a testament to his design, craftsmanship, and imagination—one that blends history, art, and modern luxury.
Artistic Flair
Brightly colored walls and trim catch the eye from every angle, while a soaring, 25-foot- sanctuary ceiling commands attention with its intricate architectural details. The main level, the former church sanctuary, is laid out in an open-floor plan. The spacious family and living rooms feature large, black-paned windows and built-in bookshelves. The gourmet kitchen, located in the former church altar area, is a focal point of the home and boasts a striking, 20-foot island, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and a wet bar that makes it easy to entertain. Two bedrooms are also on the first level. The primary suite is accessed by a custom staircase designed by Mousa. It opens to a spacious loft with a custom railing that overlooks the main level. With six bathrooms throughout the home, functionality is at its peak. The lower level, measuring 7,000 square feet, has been reimagined into an extraordinary creative and functional space, featuring a wine cellar, an artist studio, a vertical garden, two gallery spaces, three offices, and multiple additional rooms with limitless potential. The two custom shipping containers in the backyard can be designed into a future outdoor kitchen, bar, or lounge area. A 9-foot custom iron privacy fence encloses the property.
