His work spans globally—from Los Angeles to Dubai, and Miami to Malaysia—bringing an international perspective to every project.
With over 38 years of experience in residential and hospitality design, Barrie understands not just how people live, but how they want to feel in a space. His approach is rooted in creating environments that are refined, functional, and built to last.
Through House of Barrie, he offers a rare showroom experience where clients can see, touch, and curate pieces firsthand from a globally sourced collection.
Barrie's dual expertise as both designer and realtor allows him to seamlessly connect design with real estate—pairing the right property with the right vision and presenting each space at its best.
His portfolio includes the model residences at Tortuga Bay II, as well as several of the units there and projects in Chileno Bay, Fundadores, Palmilla, Maravilla and Querencia, along with luxury residences and yachts, and past work for leading hotel brands such as InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott, Southern Sun, and Mandarin Oriental.
Barrie's work reflects a refined design sensibility shaped by the relaxed sophistication of coastal Cabo, anchored by his Palmilla showroom and established local presence.
Villa del Mar – Santa Carmela by the Sea
Set along a dramatic rocky outcrop in Santa Carmela, with uninterrupted views stretching toward Land’s End and the iconic Arch, this seaside estate presented a rare opportunity for complete transformation. The property had remained in its original early-1990s condition for decades—untouched, yet full of potential. What emerged is Villa del Mar: a revitalized coastal residence that embraces its extraordinary setting with clarity, warmth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Behind the Design
“The design was guided by where land, rock, and sea converge. A palette of light washed oak, soft creams, and sandy neutrals establishes a calm foundation, while bursts of color serve as subtle reminders of place—vibrant, sunlit, and unmistakably coastal Mexico. A dramatic blue glass chandelier inspired by Chihuly anchors the main salon, and a large-scale blue coral installation echoes the sea just beyond.”

Tortuga Bay – Model Residence
Tortuga Bay is set along one of the widest stretches of white sand beach in San José del Cabo, defined by two seven-story towers that frame a dramatic lagoon-style pool and overlook the shimmering Sea of Cortez. We were initially engaged to design the developer’s three-bedroom model residence. Following its successful sale, we were invited to reimagine the concept for a two-bedroom unit—an opportunity to refine and elevate the design for a more intimate, yet equally impactful, living experience.
Behind the Design
“The design draws directly from its surroundings—allowing the landscape, light, and ocean to inform the interior palette. A foundation of soft neutrals creates openness and calm, while the design works in harmony with travertine flooring and Encino wood cabinetry. Ocean and sky blues are woven into the palette to reflect the ever-changing coastal environment.”

OR Cabo – Sexy Chic Residence
Perched high above Cabo San Lucas in the exclusive hillside enclave of Santa Carmela, OR—meaning “light” in Hebrew—is a boutique, architecture-forward residence unlike anything else in the region. Designed by Mexico City–based Archetonic, the building is defined by its striking use of poured, board-formed concrete. With just 27 units, it offers a rare sense of intimacy paired with bold architectural expression.
Behind the Design
“The interiors were conceived as a sophisticated counterbalance to the building’s strong architectural identity. Clean lines and structural materials are softened through layered upholstery and ambient lighting. A dramatic 80-foot wall of glass defines the residence, anchoring the interior to Punta Ballena—“Whale Point”—where land meets sea in a constantly shifting coastal panorama.”

Magical Marvilla – Poolside Condo Reimagined
This four-bedroom ground-floor residence at Marvilla was reimagined as a vibrant, layered retreat centered around its most defining feature—a truly exceptional ocean-view pool and expansive wraparound terraces. From the outset, the outdoor spaces were treated as integral to the design, creating a home that lives as much outside as it does within.
Behind the Design
“The interiors were conceived as a warm, textural backdrop infused with moments of color and personality. A rich spectrum of Mexican-inspired hues—pinks, yellows, purples, bright and aqua blues, along with jade and emerald greens—emerges from a foundation of soft creams. A custom Bisazza Italian glass mosaic in vibrant red coral tones along the pool wall brings a dynamic, almost fluid quality to the terrace.”

Villa Abejas – Palmilla
Villa Abejas sits directly on the sand at Palmilla Beach, among the original collection of villas built alongside the legendary One & Only Resort. With its pool and terrace set just above sea level, the home is immersed in an ever-changing coastal landscape—where manta rays glide through the shallows, sea turtles return seasonally to nest, and whales breach offshore in full view of the living spaces.
Behind the Design
“The interiors were conceived as a refined response to the rhythm and palette of the sea—soft, layered, and quietly expressive. Hand-laid Italian Bisazza mosaics bring luminosity to the bathrooms, while Rosa Morada beams ground the architecture with weight and authenticity. Custom galleon-style stained-glass windows and plank porthole doors complete a refined nautical sensibility that feels both distinctive and understated.”
