The Dynamic Duo

Kevin spent 45 years working for most of the top magazines as one of the top freelance photojournalist in the world, shooting for National Geographic Society, Life Magazine and Newsweek to name a few.

In 2018 Vandivier retired from assignment photography to focus on his fine art photography and building custom homes and renovations. As an admirer of the works of Frank Loyd Wright and a few others, he designs his houses using Wrights influences with interior forms and material textures along with his experience as a creative soul to add that unique and different touch rarely seen in other homes.

The worst thing a custom home builder can do is over load the business with to many projects at once. Builders cannot give a single project the attention it needs when his focus is spread so thin. For this reason Kevin only builds 1-2 homes a year, so that he can give the needed attention to his clients homes/projects. He refuses to cut corners or settle for "good enough"! Ask those who work for him. His eye for detail drives them crazy:)

Leslie started out her early career as a very successful artist, singer and actress. That is until Kevin came along and soon followed five wonderful children. As a team, Kevin and Leslie loved to find historic home to restore, so Leslie became a Realtor and later a Broker. She became excellent at finding the right projects for Vandivier Homes to take on through the years. Once Kevin decided to start building homes full time, it was Leslie who skillfully located and secured the best locations. The right home at the right location is what everyone is looking for.

Also having an incredible talent for interior designing, Leslie would choose the right textures, colors and lighting for their builds. In the end, Leslie's touches brought everything together!
