Architect involvement.
Every estate runs through an architectural design conversation, not just plan selection. The lot, the views, the sightlines, the way a Wasatch winter affects every elevation.
R5 Estates is the custom side of our practice. Spanish Fork lots, architect involvement, and the same engineering for separation that we built our reputation on. The home is yours, designed around how your family actually lives. The flex suite is a guest house with the front door inside.
Most luxury builders treat secondary spaces as bonus square footage. We treat the suite as the second home it actually becomes when life calls for it.
The result is a custom estate that holds three lives at once. The main house, the way you wanted it. A separate quarters for the kids who come home from college, or the in laws who don't want to be in assisted living, or the design studio that needs to be a world apart from the kitchen. And a property that holds its dignity if your family ever decides to rent the suite, instead of forcing a remodel.
It's the same engineering as every R5 home. The finishes, the lot, the architectural conversation are different.

Cabinetry, stone, mill work, fixtures, glazing. Each gets specified by trade and intent, not by package level. We work with the makers we trust and the ones you bring.
Acoustic, spatial, aerial. The flex suite holds up to anyone who lives in it, whether that's your daughter and her family or a tenant five years from now if life turns that way.
Estate builds run longer than 120 days. We move when materials and weather move. The schedule is honest, the punch list is short, and the keys go in the right hands.
Cameron and Al Rafati are on every estate, start to finish. Not a project manager rotation. Not a weekly check in with a stranger. Direct numbers, direct decisions.
Estate work begins with a real conversation about your land, your family, and what the home is for. Bring the floor plan you've been doodling.
