Winnetka, IL, January 2017, Residential

A Winnetka Estate's Indoor-Outdoor Transformation

A central challenge in this project was reconnecting the home to its expansive private yard. This is a common opportunity in Winnetka, where long-standing estates and high-end properties have evolved over decades, sometimes losing their connection to the landscape. Our primary goal was to restore that dialogue, turning the property into a seamless private oasis.

The solution, which integrated expansive glass walls with premium reclaimed wood beams and natural stone, was carefully planned to respect the home's scale. This process demands a deep understanding of the North Shore’s aesthetic and Winnetka's specific zoning ordinances to protect and build upon the homeowners' investment.
