Local Historic Landmark Evanston, IL

Reviving an Evanston treasure

This historic Tudor at Evanston’s lakefront was carefully restored to its former splendor.  Conceived as a bed and breakfast welcoming weary travelers, this project negotiated the design of period-authentic spaces, and the client’s commitment to sustainability:  beneath sheared yew hedges, colorful flower beds, and lawn, a voluminous gray-water system captures stormwater, relieves municipal sewers, and Lake Michigan, while keeping the yard irrigated.  A fireplace, the peaceful murmur of a water fountain, and pristine bluestone patios create a sense of intimacy and offer shelter from Sheridan Road and the beaches.  A bespoke metal overthrow completed with a lantern mounted on stone piers evokes a different time.
