Residances
Courtyard Series
The Courtyard Series is made for compact urban and suburban lots. It makes the most of a small footprint by wrapping living spaces around a private outdoor room, which brings light and air deep into the home and keeps the street at a comfortable distance.
Strategic glazing balances daylight and views with privacy and acoustic comfort. Flexible floor plans adapt as households change, and living areas open fully to the courtyard. Clean edges and well-considered junctions deliver visual clarity and long-term durability.
The palette softens the city and adds warmth. Natural timber, honed stone and mineral finishes are expressed honestly, so the character of each material defines the architecture.
• Efficient planning for tight sites
• Openness balanced with privacy
• Flexible, adaptable living spaces
• Warm, tactile materials

Ridge Series
The Ridge Series is made for hillsides, forests, meadows and other open land. It is sensitive to the landscape around it. An adaptable design system is configured for each site, so the home sits lightly on the ground and feels of its place while protecting you from sun, wind and rain.
Comfort and performance are built in from the start through careful orientation, shading, ventilation and glazing. Outdoor spaces work as everyday living areas, with generous decks and covered zones. High-performance envelopes handle weatherproofing, thermal comfort and long-term moisture control, and wildfire-resilient detailing is considered from the first sketch.
The exterior palette comes from the landscape, using native timbers and muted colors that settle quietly into their surroundings. Inside, deeper tones heighten contrast and draw the eye to the view.
• Lasting protection from harsh weather and fire risk
• Framed views and generous decks
• Seamless indoor-outdoor living
• A palette drawn from the landscape

Shore Series
The Shore Series is made for life beside the ocean and the bay. Each home responds to its particular site, strengthening the connection to the water while standing up to a demanding environment.
Salt air is hard on buildings, so corrosion resistance is considered at every scale, from fasteners and flashings to cladding and hardware. Generous operable openings, sheltered by deep overhangs and integrated shading, encourage cross-ventilation and passive cooling. Louvers let you control airflow as conditions change. Living extends outdoors through open decks and protected thresholds.
The Shore Series pairs technical rigor with visual restraint. Native hardwoods combine with crisp, light surfaces that reflect sunlight, moderate heat and keep the mood relaxed.
• Corrosion-resistant construction throughout
• Passive cooling and solar design
• Living spaces that extend outdoors
• Calm, coastal materials

Signature Estates
Beyond our three series, Khaas designs large-scale residences and private properties, shaped around the land, the family and the way a whole estate is lived in. Each project is drawn from scratch, so instead of fixed plans we start from the program: the spaces, the setting and the standard of finish you want.
