Rural Estate
The owners bought a five-acre tract of land in rural horse country northwest of Chicago, Illinois to design and build a ‘family compound’, one that would support their family of seven for years to come. It was vital that the residence was of a quality that would ‘last the test of time and that could be handed down, generation after generation’.
A pool surrounded by a bluestone patio was situated to the side of the home, which affords both privacy and scenic views of the property and the house. Architectural cedar shingles clad expansive roofs that are appointed by robust stucco chimneys topped with clay pots.
