Eco-Prairie
This was the first LEED gold certified home in Glenview – featuring sophisticated green technologies – while still creating a beautiful and comfortable home tailored to one-level living. As green home builders, we are proud of the technologies and features this home utilizes.

Numerous, future-forward, cost-saving and eco-conscious technologies allowed us to design and build a unique, environmentally sensitive home in Wilmette.

The first house in Wilmette to be certified LEED-H Platinum minimizes impact on the environment while offering guilt-free comfort to an energetic family of four.

Modern Tudor
After years in a beautiful, LEED Platinum-certified house we built for them in Glencoe our second build with this family was focused on finding a more private, larger lot that could allow them to spread out a bit.
Glencoe
Farm-Style
Natural elements and reclaimed materials are the centerpiece of this Northbrook new construction’s thoughtful design and unique details as well as the first village-approved rain garden in Northbrook, which helps the whole neighborhood.

Eco-Contemporary
This growing family raising 3 boys in Northbrook needed a home that could handle mud and sports equipment as easily as it could a houseful of dinner guests – with green construction techniques to minimize impact.

SSDB Green Home Builders: Videos From our Custom Home Projects
There are lots of opportunities for green home builders to implement efficient, environmentally friendly and affordable options into a home design. Together, we can make a huge impact with green modern homes.
Deconstruction
Deconstructing this Kenilworth home piece-by-piece (instead of just bulldozing it) is a labor of love, but very green and renewable behavior.

Rain Gardens
We created the first village-approved rain garden in Northbrook, IL, which uses vegetation, soils and other elements to manage water conscientiously.

Insulation
A tight building envelope separates living space from outside moisture, air, light and noise – keeping energy bills low for this Wilmette custom home.

Reclaimed Barn Beams
We cut and manually installed 400-pound reclaimed barn beams (from Wisconsin) into a custom design-build home in Northbrook.

Foundation Recycling
Masonry, concrete block and steel can be carefully sorted and sent to different recycling plants, a very green and renewable construction behavior.
Kenilworth
Preservation
We have won multiple historic preservation awards by using craftsmanship to restore historic homes, while making updates that meet current family needs. As green home builders, we are passionate about preserving historic homes in an eco-friendly manner.
