CUSTOM HOME ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS IN WILMETTE, IL DESIGN + BUILD

At Scott Simpson Design + Build, we have more than 30 years of experience in the architecture and building of custom homes in Wilmette, Illinois. Our North Shore architects and builders specialize in new home construction, large-scale remodels, historic renovations and eco-conscious green building projects.

Wilmette is a beautiful community on the North Shore of Chicago and home to our first-ever clients. These clients were so satisfied with our work, they ended up building a second home with us several years later when they became empty-nesters. Scott Simpson Design + Build also built the first certified LEED-H Platinum house in Wilmette. We have enjoyed working on many home building projects, including a few of our favorite dream homes in Wilmette:

Just 14 miles north of downtown Chicago, Wilmette is a family-focused community that, in 2020, was ranked #1 by Niche.com as the best place to raise a family in Cook County based on a variety of factors including public schools grade, percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher, crime & safety grade, family amenities, walkability grade, percentage of households with children, and access to parks and other recreational activities.

~ 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.”
