This grand, neoclassical home, circa 1893, was one of the first residences constructed in Wilmette and we were lucky enough to become stewards of this historic home renovation – for two successive owners over 10 years!

Green Homes
We help guide choices for healthy buildings, clean energy, earth-friendly materials, local sourcing and long-lasting quality construction dedicated to sustainability.
Awards
We take time to learn about innovative building and preservation techniques — those that will fortify the homes we build, safeguard your budget, and respect our environment. While the work itself is its own reward, sometimes recognition comes along with it.
Home Remodels
Our architects can make your current home your forever home with some reconfiguration, reimagining or revisit to make it everything you need. Remodeling and renovations are much more efficient with a design-build team guiding you through every step.
