The Parker: A Full Home Remodel in Las Vegas That Won Remodeler of the Year
The Parker is a full home remodel Las Vegas project that transformed a 1988 Spanish Trails residence into one of the most recognized luxury homes in our portfolio. When our clients first walked us through the house, the original design elements were still intact: the dated finishes, disconnected rooms, and builder-grade details that made the home feel frozen in a different era. They did not want a refresh. They wanted a complete reimagining, one bold enough to honor the scale of the home while pushing it into an entirely different design language. The result earned the 2025 NARI Remodeler of the Year award in the Entire House category at the regional level and was featured in Architectural Digest’s Nevada edition.
The Challenge: A 1988 Floor Plan Stuck in Its Original Era
Spanish Trails is one of Las Vegas’s premier guard-gated communities, and homes of this vintage tend to carry strong structural bones with finishes and layouts that no longer reflect how families live or entertain. The Parker had the square footage, the lot, and the location. What it lacked was cohesion. The rooms were compartmentalized in the way late-1980s floor plans often are, the finishes competed rather than complemented each other, and there was no relationship between indoor and outdoor living.
Our clients wanted drama, warmth, and continuity. They wanted a home where the staircase made a statement, the kitchen anchored daily life, and the primary bathroom felt like a retreat rather than a utility. They also wanted thoughtful details for the entire household, including their pets. That combination of ambition and specificity is exactly what the design-build model is built for.
The Vision: Bold Contrasts, Warm Materials, and Intentional Drama
We organized the entire remodel around one design principle: dramatic contrast executed with restraint. Black against white, marble against wood, clean modern lines against warm organic textures. Every room commits to that idea without repeating the same move twice.
Kitchen: Marble Waterfall Island and Indoor-Outdoor Living
The kitchen became the anchor of the home. A marble waterfall island with a black base sits at the center, large enough for cooking, gathering, and casual dining. Kingdom & Co. custom cabinetry in light wood wraps the perimeter, balancing the weight of the dark island with warmth overhead. Exposed wood ceiling beams reinforce the contrast between refined and natural, and a gas range set into a marble backsplash wall creates a proper cooking station that does not compete with the island’s clean lines.
The most transformative move in the kitchen was the installation of large folding glass doors that open directly to the outdoor living space. The original home had no real indoor-outdoor connection. Now the kitchen extends seamlessly onto the patio, with an outdoor bar counter that looks back into the kitchen and dining area. For entertaining in a Las Vegas climate, this changes how the home functions on a daily basis.
Butler’s Pantry: A Working Back-of-House
Behind the main kitchen, a butler’s pantry with mirrored subway tile backsplash and open shelving keeps everyday items, glassware, and small appliances organized and accessible without cluttering the public kitchen. This is the same philosophy we applied in The Lexington’s scullery: keep the working mess out of the primary entertaining space so the main kitchen stays gallery-clean.
Living Room: A Linear Fireplace and Floating Shelves
The living room follows the home’s contrast language with a sleek linear fireplace set into a dark surround, a wall-mounted television above, and floating wood shelves on either side. The furniture plan sits low and warm against the architecture. In the adjacent dining area, a curved stone-clad fireplace wall and a modern chrome chandelier bring sculptural presence to a room that previously lacked a focal point.
The Staircase and Wine Display: The Parker’s Signature Moment
The staircase is the most photographed feature in the home and the detail that earned The Parker its reputation within the Las Vegas design community. A light wood staircase rises alongside a glass-enclosed wine display that is visible from the entry foyer. The railing is black metal with a wood handrail, and the wine storage glows behind glass, turning what was once a purely functional transition between floors into an architectural statement. This is one of those moments that defines what it means to work with top custom home builders Las Vegas homeowners trust with their most ambitious projects.
Custom Pet Station: Design for the Whole Household
One of The Parker’s most distinctive features is a built-in pet station with a marble backsplash, a black pot filler faucet, and a light wood surround. It is fully integrated into the home’s material and color palette rather than tucked away as an afterthought. Designing for the entire household, including pets, is a detail that separates a thoughtful whole-home remodel from a surface-level renovation.
Mudroom: Organized and Elevated
The mudroom carries the home’s black-and-wood language into the utilitarian spaces. A black built-in wall with coat hooks sits beside a light wood bench with woven storage below, creating a proper landing zone that feels like part of the house rather than a forgotten corridor.
Primary Bathroom: Marble, Crystal, and a Freestanding Soaking Tub
The primary bathroom is where the home’s design ambition reaches its highest point. Kingdom & Co. custom cabinetry in light wood with a matte black countertop and open center shelving creates a vanity that reads as furniture rather than a cabinet run. A freestanding soaking tub sits beneath a crystal chandelier with marble wainscoting behind it and glass block windows filtering soft natural light. The walk-in shower features floor-to-ceiling marble slab walls with a textured rain glass enclosure and black fixtures.
This is a primary bathroom designed for daily ritual, not just function, and it reflects the level of craft that defines our approach to high end bathroom remodel Las Vegas projects.
Powder Room: Small Room, Bold Statement
Even the powder room commits to The Parker’s design language. Dark tile walls, a floating marble vanity, a black-framed mirror, and a black dome pendant light make this the smallest room in the house and one of the most memorable.
The Result: One of the Best Whole Home Renovations in Las Vegas
What makes The Parker one of the best whole home renovation Las Vegas projects in our portfolio is the consistency of vision across every room. The dramatic contrast between black and white, marble and wood, refined and organic never wavers, whether you are standing at the kitchen island, climbing the staircase past the glass wine display, or soaking in the freestanding tub beneath a crystal chandelier. Every system was updated, every surface was reimagined, and the result is a 1988 Spanish Trails home that now feels as though it was designed and built as a single, intentional statement.
NARI Recognition, Architectural Digest, and Why Design-Build Matters
The Parker was named the 2025 NARI Remodeler of the Year in the Entire House category at the regional level and was featured in Architectural Digest’s Nevada edition. Those recognitions reflect what we believe sets Kingdom & Co. apart as one of the top custom home builders Las Vegas homeowners return to for full-home transformations: a single design-build team from concept to completion. When one team handles design, material selection, cabinetry, construction, and project management, the finished home carries a unified voice that is nearly impossible to achieve when those responsibilities are split across multiple firms.
Kingdom & Co. holds a Nevada B-2 general contractor license, has been BBB accredited since 2018, and has been featured by HGTV (including as a contractor of choice for Property Brothers), Architectural Digest, and Martha Stewart. We have been named Best of Las Vegas in Gold and Silver categories.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 30% rule is a general guideline suggesting that your total remodel budget should not exceed 30% of your home’s current market value. It is a starting point, not a hard rule. For luxury full home remodel Las Vegas projects like The Parker, homeowners often invest above that threshold because the scope includes structural changes, full MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) updates, custom cabinetry, and high-end finishes that significantly increase the home’s value and livability. The right budget depends on your goals, your home’s condition, and what you want the finished result to be. Kingdom & Co. builds a transparent proposal after a walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
A full home remodel is phased across design, permitting, and construction. The timeline depends on the scope of work, structural complexity, material lead times, and municipal permitting in your area. Kingdom & Co. provides every client with a custom schedule after the in-home walkthrough because no two projects share the same variables. The design-build model keeps that schedule tighter than splitting design and construction across separate firms, because one team coordinates both from day one.
The improvements that add the most value are the ones that change how the home functions, not just how it looks. Kitchen reconfigurations, primary bathroom expansions, indoor-outdoor living connections, and updated mechanical systems consistently deliver strong returns. In The Parker, the marble waterfall kitchen island, folding glass doors to the outdoor living area, and the fully reimagined primary bathroom with freestanding tub and marble shower were the highest-impact changes because they transformed daily living, not just aesthetics.
NARI (the National Association of the Remodeling Industry) recognizes excellence in remodeling through rigorous judging of design, craftsmanship, and project management. The Parker won the 2025 Remodeler of the Year in the Entire House category at the regional level. The project was also featured in Architectural Digest’s Nevada edition. These recognitions reflect both the design ambition and the construction quality required to transform a 1988 home into a fully contemporary residence.
A custom home builder typically constructs new homes from the ground up. A design-build firm like Kingdom & Co. handles both new construction and full-home remodels, with design, material selection, and construction managed under one team, one schedule, and one budget. For homeowners remodeling an existing home, the design-build model eliminates the coordination gaps that arise when an architect, interior designer, and general contractor work separately. It is a core reason Kingdom & Co. is recognized among the top custom home builders Las Vegas homeowners trust for their most ambitious projects.
