Custom Homes

Working with individual clients to help them realize personal dreams can be the greatest challenge and joy we experience as architects.

Dot House: Twin Elevations Dot Houses
Twin speculative houses were built to explore the possibilities of structural stressed skin panels along with all wood construction.

Duck Lake House : Exterior view Duck Lake
This weekend house has a cross section that focuses in the morning on sweeping view of Duck Lake and reaches up to a book loft to catch the sunset.

Chicago Greystone: Exterior Chicago Greystone
This grand, formal stone and brick house is designed for urban living.

Teal House: Exterior Teal House
This suburban, master suit + two guest room house, sits on the back half of a long lot. The house is stretched to kiss the two Side Yard Set Backs and is squeezed between the Front and Rear Yard Setbacks. The project started as an addition to a modest 60’s Cape Cod. The dominate gable roof lines are all that survive of the original cottage. The Teal House is “thin” in order to accommodate standard construction and to provide natural light on two sides of every room, which sometimes makes the house transparent. The house is designed for an Acoustician and a Professor. For the Acoustician, the street façade is arranged as a musical score and the shower wall is tilted. The Professor has his own library and ivory tower escape. A sense of precise simplicity is manifest in the house down to the simple trims and an exemplary paint job.

Recently discovered in the archive, a preliminary plan for furnishing my own home. Some ideas survived; the dining table in the kitchen, the swing in the living room, and the irregular shaped studio table. Amended ideas included; continuous bookshelf and display counter in the living room disappeared, position of bathroom fixtures adjusted, and built-in studio storage increased.
