This home, located in one of Chicago’s woodland-like lakefront suburbs, is built from authentic and enduring materials and honors the craft of building. While brick masonry country homes (both English and French) provide a general reference, the architectural expression also draws from the refined sense of finish and detailing found in the area’s residential design history. Interiors are orchestrated from a specific vocabulary of proportion, order, and function. Extensive interior trim and millwork support the simple elegance of the entire home.
