Traditional Exterior Home Ideas

This brick and limestone, 6,000-square-foot residence exemplifies understated elegance. Located in the award-wining Blaine School District and within close proximity to the Southport Corridor, this is city living at its finest!
The foyer, with herringbone wood floors, leads to a dramatic, hand-milled oval staircase; an architectural element that allows sunlight to cascade down from skylights and to filter throughout the house. The floor plan has stately-proportioned rooms and includes formal Living and Dining Rooms; an expansive, eat-in, gourmet Kitchen/Great Room; four bedrooms on the second level with three additional bedrooms and a Family Room on the lower level; a Penthouse Playroom leading to a roof-top deck and green roof; and an attached, heated 3-car garage. Additional features include hardwood flooring throughout the main level and upper two floors; sophisticated architectural detailing throughout the house including coffered ceiling details, barrel and groin vaulted ceilings; painted, glazed and wood paneling; laundry rooms on the bedroom level and on the lower level; five fireplaces, including one outdoors; and HD Video, Audio and Surround Sound pre-wire distribution through the house and grounds. The home also features extensively landscaped exterior spaces, designed by Prassas Landscape Studio.
This home went under contract within 90 days during the Great Recession.

The classic appeal of traditional shingle style architecture is, in my professional opinion, one of America's greatest architectural contributions. While we will always stare in wonderment at the architectural mastery of the architecture that grew out of the European Renaissance, those masters of ornamental architecture can never take claim to the American hampton style home. The real magic of the shingle style home is that it bears its roots in the american barn. While the barn style is fundamentally a product of its function, there are those few architects who will continually challenge themselves take it once step further by interpolating the unique gambrel roof lines of the American barn and combine it with elegant architectural details of today high- end home to create a habitable sculpture. Without some semblance of historic precedence, we can never truly achieve architectural enlightenment , as that requires not just elegant design details, but a touch or nostalgia to lift the spirit.

This house began as a typical, low-lying split-level. You can still see the garage, main level, and upper/lower split on the right. We designed a new story above, with turned-gable roof lines to complement the main roof. The entire house was remodeled, plus we designed a screened porch and patio / fire pit for the rear yard.

Unfortunately, we do not have exterior paint color information to share, it was a custom mix by the builder on site.
Innovative Design Build
Our clients' home had a very typical front facade and our task was to design a new exterior with character and dimension as well as functionality. We achieved that with the portico columns, custom double front door and metal roof. The use of natural elements, Old World Horizon and Bluestone adds to the multi dimensional architectural design.

Beautiful French inspired home in the heart of Lincoln Park Chicago.
Rising amidst the grand homes of North Howe Street, this stately house has more than 6,600 SF. In total, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three powder rooms. Designed with an extra-wide floor plan (21'-2"), achieved through side-yard relief, and an attached garage achieved through rear-yard relief, it is a truly unique home in a truly stunning environment.
The centerpiece of the home is its dramatic, 11-foot-diameter circular stair that ascends four floors from the lower level to the roof decks where panoramic windows (and views) infuse the staircase and lower levels with natural light. Public areas include classically-proportioned living and dining rooms, designed in an open-plan concept with architectural distinction enabling them to function individually. A gourmet, eat-in kitchen opens to the home's great room and rear gardens and is connected via its own staircase to the lower level family room, mud room and attached 2-1/2 car, heated garage.
The second floor is a dedicated master floor, accessed by the main stair or the home's elevator. Features include a groin-vaulted ceiling; attached sun-room; private balcony; lavishly appointed master bath; tremendous closet space, including a 120 SF walk-in closet, and; an en-suite office. Four family bedrooms and three bathrooms are located on the third floor.
This home was sold early in its construction process.
