Master photographer Peter Lik has captured the world’ s most aweinspiring landscapes for decades— sweeping panoramas that have earned him global acclaim, from exhibitions at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D. C., to his starring role in an NBC TV series about his photography. Ten years ago, his“ Phantom,” a ghost image in Antelope Canyon, became the most expensive photograph ever sold. His success has made him a household name, and his images can be found in multiple Lik Fine Art galleries in Las Vegas.
What some may not know is that Melbourne, Australia-born Lik has also chosen to make Las Vegas his home for many years, and for the last several has found a new medium to showcase the drama of this area: modern, organic dwellings that fi t into the landscape perfectly just as they reference some of the places he’ s traveled.
Jewel Homes( jewelhomes. com), his development now entering its third phase, is a series of three gated neighborhoods. The third phase, on Milos Road, comprises nine homes in a gated cul-de-sac, for which two lots are move-in ready. The homes are selling as to-be-built homes on half-acre lots in models such as the Mediterraneaninspired Milos, with its 4,000 square feet of living space in natural stone, wood and steel that blend together seamlessly, and Kyoto, whose over 5,800 square feet of minimalist Japanese design wrap around balanced Zen gardens. Each of the nine single- and two-story home designs is fully customizable, with listing prices that start at $ 2.9 million and packages that include choices of furniture and fi nishings. In fact, Lik sees designing homes as a natural extension of his artistic vision.“ That same creative force I brought to photography, I wanted to channel into something tangible— something that people could live in, touch and feel
