Winnetka Home Renovation – Award Winner

Winnetka Home Renovation Award Winner originally built in the 1950’s.

The challenge was to transform the home from it’s current condition and add charm, character and create living spaces that would fit our clients’ needs.

First, we literally rebuilt the structure on the inside, gutting the framing from 1st floor to the roof rafters in many areas.

Second, we gave it a cohesive look.  To do this, we raised and stepped the dormers. The new design added brackets, trim and panel details and cupolas.  A two color palette created a unified look. All the existing brick, new shingle siding, and new roof became charcoal grey. The new trim, windows, soffits and fascia, and garage door all white.

In the home’s rear, we added glass walls facing the yard and pool to open up the home.  As a result, the exterior spaces appear as an extension of the interior, very typical of southern California living. All the rooms are bathed in light including spaces that face north like the open kitchen. There are views of the lake from practically every room in the house. The 1st floor can easily accommodate 75 guests, yet it is comfortably cozy for a smaller group or just the 2 of them.

The final result -our clients got everything they wanted. They trusted our vision and are extremely pleased with the finished product.

This Winnetka home renovation received awards from the Winnetka Home Preservation Award for Rehabilitation, Professional Remodeler Magazine Design Award and Marvin Integrity Red Diamond Achiever Award.
