Jimmy Butler’s resort-like home has its own café

NBA star Jimmy Butler spends the offseason two hours outside Los Angeles at his private resort: luxurious California digs.

The 35-year-old Miami Heat forward was welcomed Architectural review to his warm, light-filled, lavish apartment, which he called a “resort” designed by an interior designer Tiffany Brooks.

“I am unable to be serious all day, I want balance. This house has all the pieces, that is why I call it a resort,” he told the publication.

With a heightened artistic flair, the home offers resort-style amenities including a sublime infinity pool, a totally stocked wine cellar, a sand volleyball court, an almost accomplished regulation-size indoor basketball court (which can be dedicated to his late father), and its own a restaurant with coffee from the approach to life brand Butler’s BIG FACE.

His home is a spot for all his many passions, including good wine, playing dominoes, tennis, traveling and his growing interest in coffee.

While Butler was in isolation in 2020 NBA bubble, he began selling coffee to other players. Hence, his lifestyle and low brand BIGFACE (slang for $100 bill) was born in October 2021. While BIGFACE’s first location is technically a coffee shop in his home, a second brick-and-mortar location is scheduled to open later this month in Miami’s design district.

“I grew up with nothing, so I dreamed of having a house for myself, for my family, and I put everything into that house,” said Butler, who’s from Tomball, Texas.

He added that his home is for his future children and is meant to encourage them to imagine that “if you want something, you can get it.”

“Jimmy has so many faces; it is like a diamond,” she told AD. “Every time I sit with him, I learn something new about his life and what he loves.”

Brooks launched the project in 2020 and said she focused on emphasizing its worldliness within the design and emphasizing its boldness with design statements resembling “exclamation points.”
