We love our home and had a great experience with the entire team. Environs took a highly organized and thoughtful approach to every aspect of our home. At first I was equally anxious and excited about designing and building a custom home. The Environs team was so professional and personable, my anxiousness quickly dissolved. We are thrilled with how our home turned out. **★★★★★ — Schaaf Window Co., Inc., June 2018** > We've been working with Environs for many years and we couldn't be happier with the work they do. We know our products are in good hands with them and we love seeing the homes they build. Great people to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality builder that you can trust to get the job done right. **★★★★★ — Summer Thornton Design, Inc, Nov. 2017** > We have worked with Environs on 2 projects and have had a really great experience both times. Most recently we worked on a fully custom home from the ground-up. Our firm designed the interior architecture & finishes and Environs oversaw the structure & construction. I'm most impressed with the speed with which they can move a project forward. I've worked with dozens of GCs and they truly operate with a level of efficiency like no other. At multiple points during the project they advised our firm & the client of anticipated delivery dates that I thought were impossible, but somehow they delivered! Beyond that when there were adjustments/revisions to the plan they always met the challenge with an open mind and were solution-oriented. In particular, Matt Moore (the project manager) was on-the-ball, had great communication, and kept things moving. Jen Morrow also was great at juggling a ton of deliverables & details with surprising ease. I'm already looking forward to collaborating with them again on another project. **★★★★★ — BEVOLO GAS & ELECTRIC LIGHTS, April 2016** > We always appreciate the opportunity to make tangible the outstanding crisp designs that Environs Development's talented staff create for their clients. This combination of world class design and effective project management make Environs Devleopment a unique gem in the marketplace for those seeking professional architectural services. **★★★★★ — Kemora Landscapes, March 2015** > We've worked with Environs and their clients throughout the years in the Chicagoland area. Every project is exciting to work on. From hardscape and planting plans, to full lot plans, we enjoy working with their dedicated team and passionate clients. Their commitment to their client's needs is what we love most when working with them. We look forward to future projects. **★★★★★ — Chicago Roof Deck & Garden, March 2013** > We have had the pleasure of working with Environs and their clients on several occasions. Their approach and professionalism to their work is everything you could hope for in a home builder. ## Selected projects - [Available Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/available-homes-pj-vj~3261490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Form & Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/form-and-space-pj-vj~2886532) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Summery Symmetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/summery-symmetry-pj-vj~2886375) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Hot & Cold](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hot-and-cold-pj-vj~2886321) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Sunlit Bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunlit-bay-pj-vj~2886487) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Compelling Polarity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/compelling-polarity-pj-vj~2886462) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Shaded Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shaded-retreat-pj-vj~2886424) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Domino Theories](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/domino-theories-pj-vj~2886387) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Facades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/facades-pj-vj~57443) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/environs-group-pfvwus-pf~1921028410) ## Community Q&A **Q: counter top please? color/material - thanx!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Calacutta Quartzite on the islands and Caeserstone Lagos Blue on the perimeter countertops **Q: Love the arm chairs and sofa** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, the armchairs and sofa are beautiful. i would like to know where you could get these from. thanks A: Our client furnished this home so I don't know any details about furniture. **Q: what is the concept of this townhouse and its function?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is a custom single-family contemporary style home.
