EcoBUILT | 1511 - 1517
This skillfully planned community is organized around driving and pedestrian courts maximizing landscaped yards and private courts and provide human scale and dramatic shadows. The open planning of the various 2 & 3 bedroom units offer such fine touches as generous natural light, contemporary kitchens, and private rooftop patios. Common residential materials, such as cedar siding and masonry, are blended in the facade connecting the twelve town homes to the neighborhood. The combination of the site plan and elevations allow the development to individually express itself while utilizing traditional residential materials. -
Avenue Place Condominiums
Located in the historical south Oak Park Avenue District, this mixed use building was one of the first new developments south of the Eisenhower Expressway. Thoughtfully combining commercial and residential condominiums, the facade expresses the use. The commercial condominiums are wrapped in masonry, and capped with a steel lintel. The lintel also designates the beginning of the residential section of the building expressed with cedar. Each unit has access to either a roof terrace or balcony. In addition, each residential unit as a view to the dramatic Chicago skyline. Underground parking and close proximity to the Chicago Transit system provides great amenities to the owners. -

EcoBUILT | 631
Green GOOD DESIGN Award Winner
The Most Sustainable New Architecture
The client's inspiration was a modern interpretation of a Danish summer home. The typical summer homes are one and a half stories, with the second floor "hidden in the roof line". As with the homes found on the Danish coast, EcoBUILT | 631 is a one and a half story home. The second floor's ceiling are 14'-0" vaulted spaces defined by the roof. The owners sought a home allowing simple contemporary living, a forum to display their art collection, and an eco-friendly environment. The vast planes of glass can be "rolled back" allowing the lush landscaped court yard to become a part of the living spaces.
The client desired to express the planning of the home both in plan and elevation. The homes windows expressed both the location of the structure, and the use of the rooms in the home. The large spans of glass on the first floor are separated by columns which are connected to a perimeter beam structure that supports the entire second floor. The first floor operable windows designate second floor living spaces, while fixed windows represent utilitarian spaces for either baths or circulation. Contemporary materials are utilized to express the unique structure, and sustainable technologies implemented in the home.
