Not Typical Architecture. Not Typical Interior Design.
Something Entirely Different.

We are not typical interior designers or exterior architects · We design one-of-a-kind experiential destinations on extraordinary properties

Your property has untapped land. We turn it into the most talked-about place your guests have ever been — a wine cellar they fly back for, a quincho that becomes the reason for the reunion, a game room that defines the weekend.

What We Design

Not a Room. A Place People
Talk About For Years.

We identify the hidden potential in your property and design something that has never existed before — a destination that becomes the soul of your estate. A place that guests will rearrange their calendars to return to.

01

Experiential Space Masterplanning

Not a layout draft. We synthesize landscape geometry, view corridors, and structural interventions to craft cohesive destination zones. A cave-carved tasting vault, an open-fire culinary theater, or a stone pavilion aligned with seasonal light paths.

02

Monolithic Residential Formulation

Designing architectural massings that emphasize stone, concrete, and raw metal materiality. We integrate indoor comfort with structural permanence, creating residences that feel like natural extensions of their surrounding topography.

03

Urban Materiality Curation

Selecting raw concrete finishes, hand-worked masonry blocks, and patinated bronze fixtures. Every material is curated for its weathering capacity, ensuring that the spaces grow more beautiful as they age in their unique microclimate.

04

Destination Wine Cellars & Grottos

A candlelit stone grotto carved into the landscape, structured around the specific rituals of wine collecting and hosting. A sanctuary that your guests descend into and never want to leave.

05

Argentinian Quinchos & Fire Kitchens

An open-air culinary stage made of hand-laid stone, custom steel ironwork, and integrated draft systems. Designed so that the spectacle of open-flame cooking becomes the central gather point of your estate.

Why We're Different

Your Property.
Their Stories.
Forever.

Traditional architecture and interior design firms focus on your home. We focus on destinations within your property. We give you a wine cellar your daughter gets married in front of. A quincho where the most important deals of your career get closed over fire and smoke. A room so singular that guests talk about it for the rest of their lives. That is not interior design. That is not landscape architecture. That is what we do — and there is no one else doing it at this level.

The Founders

Two Worlds.
One Vision.

Traditional architects and designers offer general exterior and interior design. Matthew and Julandi refused that choice. Together they created an entirely new discipline — one that treats every corner of your property as a canvas for building destinations that have never existed before.

Matthew Mosher
Detroit, Michigan · USA

Matthew Mosher

Principal · Exterior Space Design

Matthew Mosher did not set out to build a design firm. He set out to solve a problem that bothered him deeply — that the most extraordinary properties in America were surrounded by outdoor environments that simply did not match them. Landscapes that were pleasant, but forgettable. Functional, but never transformative.

He founded Mosher Design Co. to change that — and over the years it became one of the most respected exterior design firms in the country, sought out by owners of high-end properties who wanted something the industry rarely delivered: an outdoor environment as considered, as cohesive, and as permanent as the architecture it surrounded.

What separates Matt is not just vision — it is execution. He is the rare designer who moves with equal fluency between the creative instinct and the construction detail, ensuring that what is imagined is precisely what gets realized. His work is defined by clean compositions, materials chosen for permanence over trend, and a timeless sensibility that elevates a property without ever competing with it.

Julandi Barnard

Julandi Barnard

Principal · Interior Space Design

Julandi Barnard did not find her calling in a studio or a classroom. She found it the way all the best things are found — through living.

Raised in Gobabis, Namibia, in a large and devoted family where meals were long and togetherness was everything, Julandi grew up understanding something most designers spend a lifetime trying to learn: that a space is not beautiful because of what is in it, but because of what it makes people feel inside it.

After studying Home Economics at PUK in Potchefstroom — where a single interior decoration module quietly ignited something she could not extinguish — she built a life on a farm outside Potchefstroom, creating a home of warmth and intention for her husband and children. It was there she discovered her first design truth: that real richness has nothing to do with expense, and everything to do with meaning.

Our Origin

Born From a
Simple Belief:
Properties Should
Have Destinations.

Most luxury properties are beautiful. Very few have a place on them that people actually talk about — a space so specific and so singular that it becomes the reason for the gathering, the backdrop for the memory, the thing that gets mentioned every time someone describes the weekend.

“We design spaces on your property that define how you live on it — and how the people you love remember it.”— Matthew Mosher

Mosher & Barnard works exclusively with a small number of private estate clients each year — people who understand that the right experiential space is not a cost, it is the investment that changes everything about how a property is used, experienced, and remembered.

We have a beautiful home and wanted a unique destination within our property. Mosher & Barnard designed a Quincho with an experiential wine space. Every time we are out with friends, it is all they can talk about.

How We Work

How We Create Spaces That Outlive Trends — and Define Your Legacy.

01

The Site Séance

We digest every facet of your land before we draw a single line. Every property holds a latent identity — a relationship between light, terrain, and air that we read before we begin to respond.

02

The Vision Document

A hand-crafted narrative and visual brief — not a slide deck. We present our spatial philosophy for the project in a format that itself demonstrates the quality of attention your property will receive.

03

Material & Artisan Sourcing

We work with stone carvers, metalworkers, textile artists, and landscape specialists selected from a global network cultivated over two decades. Every material is an intentional choice, not a specification.

04

Immersive Delivery

Leading every decision, every adjustment, every moment where the design meets reality. The final space is never a compromise of the original vision.

Design Fees

For budgeting purposes, design fees typically average 20% of the total project budget and are finalized based on project scope, complexity, and location following an initial consultation.
