A growing family with deep roots in the community of Northbrook, IL seek a place to call home. This Chicago custom home design is an extraordinarily long lot offers elongated views. The program had an opportunity to develop over time.

Beginning with the detached garage, we explored the design concept that most appealed to the family. Originally a succession of the rambling garage and shed spaces, we reimagined the design to serve as home base for gardening and pool activities.

With the lessons learned from the initial design, we then moved on to a replacement of the existing home with a new complimentary design. A modern interpretation of craftsman styling, this airy home offers the flexibility of an open floor plan, with the ability for quiet and private seclusion when needed.
