About this project

This modern take on a cabin in the woods is the perfect lakefront escape, located just a short drive from Chicago. As the architect and interior designer, our team replaced the Client’s original family cottage on this beautiful property and built this residence from the ground up. Knotty pine and stone floors throughout provide a rustic backdrop for a wonderfully quirky and distinctive art collection.
