any consider Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, to be the world's greatest example of a 19th century working estate. Working with Biltmore since age 14, Shane has been highly influenced by this magnificent residence.

Each estate is designed to buffer a main residence with many support structures such as a stable or groundskeepers cottage. Shane's designs incorporate modern amenities such as helicopter lawns, as well as traditional orangeries and conservatories. Waterways, lakes, and reflecting pools are also artfully integrated into the estate's design.

Each concept proposal includes architectural models, elevations, site renderings, and a seal or moniker for use on the estate, and for signage or printed materials.
