Gonterman Custom Homes, a premier luxury home builder based in Newport Beach, California, has completed this extraordinary Spanish-inspired dream house for Lindye Galloway, the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Lindye Galloway Studio + Shop.
Galloway, an esteemed interior designer recognizable for her signature blend of clean lines and organic elements, entrusted Gonterman Custom Homes to bring her vision to life in the heart of Newport Beach. The result is The Heights, a stunning custom home filled with bespoke touches, beautifully designed exteriors, and abundant natural light.
The Heights is a breathtaking combination of Old Spanish architecture infused with modern design elements, giving a timeless yet innovative aesthetic that stays true to the Restoration Hardware-stocked designer’s signature style. Key features include white oak flooring and cabinetry throughout, intricate custom cabinetry, special wall finishes, detailed stonework, and striking ceiling treatments and fireplaces.
The renowned Brandon Architects custom designed the home, which was landscaped by the sought-after Garden Studio Design. The project took just 18 months to complete.
“Jason and his team are above and beyond!” said Lindye. “Gonterman Custom Homes built our new home in Newport Beach, and we had an amazing experience. We had many unique and custom details that their team of subs executed at the highest level, and there was such an energy of collaboration throughout the process.
“They are professional, detailed, creative problem solvers and a joy to be on the job site with.”
Winn Galloway added, “I cannot recommend Gonterman Custom Homes enough. The level of care and detail they pour into their projects is unmatched. Jason has a special ability to minimize the stress while increasing the fun of the whole process!”
Jason Gonterman, President of Gonterman Custom Homes, said, “It was a true honor to work with Lindye and her talented team. Her creativity and eye for detail pushed us to deliver our very best work, which is exactly the kind of challenge we love.
“From the stonework to the custom cabinetry, this project was truly a dream to bring to life. We take great pride in transforming a designer’s vision into a reality!”

Above: The designer spends most of her time in this room, as her favorite part of this space is the fireplace. This space feels cozy and inviting with some major style points. The plaster scallop detail on the fireplace, the statement sconces by Studio Henry Wilson, the oversized coffee table, and the coordinated sofas.
Above: This archway features the natural look of white oak with just a clear, flat finish.
Above: In the kitchen, inspiration was taken from Spanish and European architecture, mixing the old world with a modern appeal. This space is unique and inviting—perfect for gathering with friends but approachable enough for family pizza night. Special touches in this space include the unlacquered brass faucet from Waterworks, the amazing plaster and pressed tile hood by @appliedplastering, the Lacanche range, and the stunning Calacatta Vagli marble countertop and backsplash.
Above: The owner’s bedroom offers a restful retreat with simple yet luxurious details—a place that encourages relaxing, reading, and unwinding. The bed is the perfect taupe-y brown—natural and warm but modern in its approach. The gorgeous nightstands have a reeded front with a brass inlay—both sourced from the designer’s shop.
Above: Having a cozy lounging spot in front of the house invited neighbors to come and spend time here while being able to watch the kids play outdoors. Located right off the lounge, the fireplace is the perfect spot to enjoy the neighborhood. The natural elements in the Victoria Lounge Chairs from Lindye Galloway’s shop make them perfect for relaxing and enjoying warm weather.
