Dream Houses

Creekside

This beautiful home is located on a 5 acre rural sight adjacent to a beautiful tree-lined creek. The owners love the aesthetics of the Adirondack and Craftsman styles, and this contemporary update utilizes the natural materials of those styles to wonderful effect.

Lakeside

This wonderful Shingle Style home is the dream of the owner, who resided on the family's historic 38 acre estate on a beautiful lake. The owner drew a simple sketch of connected rectangles, showing the sequence of rooms to face the lake. From that simple idea magic was created.

Riverside

This Shingle Style home sits at a shift in a broad river, with a view to rising dunes on the opposite bank. The home is designed with wrap-around verandas to take advantage of the river views, and a domed corner tower to mark the shift in the river.

Winnetka

This suburban home in an established neighborhood replaces a smaller home on a large lot. The new home is designed to act as a good neighbor. The visual scale of the new house is broken down into various smaller components so that it does not overwhelm the surrounding houses.
