This single-family residence was designed for an art collector and their family in an affluent Chicago suburb. The home balances privacy and openness, taking advantage of its elevated site and expansive views while maintaining strong connections between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.

Composed of shifting volumes, the architecture creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow throughout the day. Carefully placed windows frame distant views, preserve privacy, and bring natural light deep into the interiors. The program includes a primary suite, three guest rooms, 3.5 baths, and a dedicated art gallery integrated into the home.

Smooth stone cladding sourced from local quarries is paired with bronze trim and window mullions, adding warmth to the restrained geometry. Together, the materials and massing create a timeless modern expression that reflects the client’s appreciation for art, light, and place.
