A Case Study in Accessible, Modern Design

Our client-focused approach is exemplified by a custom accessible home we designed in Evanston for an artist with mobility challenges. The client's directive, "I want my home to adapt to me," led to a midcentury-inspired design featuring zero thresholds, generous walkways, and an open kitchen. The project integrated high-performance systems like radiant heat and photovoltaic panels, demonstrating our ability to deliver a home that is accessible, sustainable, and architecturally inspiring.
