This stunning custom lakefront home blends modern architecture with the natural beauty of its waterfront setting. Featuring dramatic rooflines, expansive windows, and a beautiful combination of warm exterior finishes and dark accents, this home was designed to make the most of its incredible views. The thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces are just as impressive as the home itself. Multiple levels of patios, spacious entertaining areas, custom landscaping, and a large two-story boathouse with an upper-level deck create the perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying life on the water. From the striking architectural details to the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, every element of this home brings together comfort, functionality, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Siding & Windows Group remodeled the exterior of this Elmhurst, IL Home with James Hardie Select Cedarmill Lap Siding in Monterey Taupe, James Hardie Trim in Arctic White and Alcoa Soffits. Replaced Windows with Simonton Windows.

This project involved the design and construction of a custom multi-level deck at an unnamed private school, thoughtfully built to meet all ADA accessibility requirements. The deck features multiple elevations connected by both ramps and stairs, creating a seamless and inclusive outdoor space for students, staff, and visitors. Custom-built benches were installed around the perimeter to provide ample seating and gathering areas. Special care was taken to preserve the school’s historic landscape, with the deck carefully designed and cut around existing mature trees—allowing these natural features to remain healthy while enhancing the overall outdoor environment.

Check out the before photo of this project to see the dramatic transformation! This project was very challenging because of the topography, and dealing with zoning regulations (wetlands). The finished project perfectly fits the scale of the space and looks like a natural extension of the house, and not an after-thought. The homeowners wanted to connect the pool with the deck. To achieve this, we excavated below the deck to build this out. The upper deck serves as an outdoor living room, complete with fireplace, lounge area, and kitchen. The gorgeous tigerwood ceiling (complete with heaters and fans), makes this a space that can be used year-round. The underdeck serves as the perfect hang-out spot after taking a dip in the pool, complete with a gorgeous textured aluminum ceiling in white to give the space an open feel. The floating monostringer stairs were strategically planned in order to maintain an open feel to the space. From anywhere on the upper or lower deck, you can look across the entire length of the pool. Want yours?
