This was a detailed exterior and interior restoration of an 1894 Victorian originally designed by influential architect and developer Joseph Leonard. Saikley Architects and Buestad Construction worked closely with the clients to uncover evidence of original exterior and interior details that had been removed and recreate them. Minor changes were made to the second story layout to add a bathroom for a master suite while staying true to the original feeling of the house.

"Beginning to end, it honestly has been a pleasure to work with Jason. He possesses a rare combination of attributes that afford him the simultaneous perspective of an architect, an engineer, and a builder. In our case, the end result is a unique, well thought out, elegant extension of our home that truly reflects our highest aspirations. I can not recommend Jason highly enough, and am already planning our next collaboration." - Homeowner

Complete gut rehabilitation and addition of this Second Empire Victorian home. White trim, new stucco, new asphalt shingle roofing with white gutters and downspouts. Awarded the Highland Park, Illinois 2017 Historic Preservation Award in Excellence in Rehabilitation. Custom white kitchen inset cabinets with panelized refrigerator and freezer. Wolf and sub zero appliances. Completely remodeled floor plans. Garage addition with screen porch above. Walk out basement and mudroom.

After many years of careful consideration and planning, these clients came to us with the goal of restoring this home’s original Victorian charm while also increasing its livability and efficiency. From preserving the original built-in cabinetry and fir flooring, to adding a new dormer for the contemporary master bathroom, careful measures were taken to strike this balance between historic preservation and modern upgrading. Behind the home’s new exterior claddings, meticulously designed to preserve its Victorian aesthetic, the shell was air sealed and fitted with a vented rainscreen to increase energy efficiency and durability. With careful attention paid to the relationship between natural light and finished surfaces, the once dark kitchen was re-imagined into a cheerful space that welcomes morning conversation shared over pots of coffee.
Every inch of this historical home was thoughtfully considered, prompting countless shared discussions between the home owners and ourselves. The stunning result is a testament to their clear vision and the collaborative nature of this project.

The clients requested the rebuilding of their front porch on this older, but not historically regulated home. They had historic photos showing what the porch was originally like to provide inspiration for us. The goal was to use off-the-shelf parts that visually mimics the original appearance of the porch, rather than to create custom replicas. The project achieves these results.
