custom home architects and builders in Highland Park, il
At Scott Simpson Design + Build, we have more than 30 years of experience in the architecture and construction of custom homes in and around Highland Park, Illinois. Our North Shore architects and builders specialize in new home construction, large-scale remodels, historic renovations, and eco-conscious green building projects.
Just 25 miles north of Chicago, Highland Park is named from its parklike setting at a lofty elevation relative to the lake on the North Shore. Landmark and historic homes are interwoven throughout Highland Park alongside attractions such as the outdoor musical venue Ravinia Festival, locations for many movies and a robust downtown shopping district. We have enjoyed working on a variety of home building projects, including a stunning lakefront home the reimagination of this 1990s Georigan and this cohesive, modern renovation in Highland Park.

Happy Clients
“We planned on talking to three or four different builders and we met with Simpson and then we didn’t meet with anybody else.”
~ Glenview Custom Home Design and Build
“SSDB is part of an echelon other builders are not – so much quality, so much devotion, such a distinct style and the ability to deliver. I feel exactly the way I wanted to feel in my new home. Our door is open 24/7 whenever you want to show anyone your wonderful work!”
~ Northbrook New Home Design and Build
“We greatly appreciate all of you – your talent, and the work you are doing on our house. The people make the project and you are all amazing. Next year happy hour on the porch at this time!”
~ Northbrook Eco-Conscious Design and Build
“Thank you for the thoughtful education all the way through the design and build. I daresay your standards were even higher than ours. We are so glad you were there to keep us on track, simplify everything and even bring joy into it all! This is probably unusual to say about a contractor – but we are thrilled to have taken this journey with you and to have made new friends as well as a new house.”
~ Wilmette New Home Design and Build
“I know I wrote you something after our final walk-through but seeing you here just now – offering your assistance a year and a half later – I just want to say thanks for making us feel like a priority even after our project was done. It’s the best “in” having picked you guys.”
~ Winnetka Home Renovation and Addition
