〝 The library is simply breathtaking. The space creates a sense of calm separation from the outside world.〞




〝 The two-story library was the seed for this design. Anchored by a sculptural spiral staircase and defined by moody, saturated tones, we utilized double-height corner windows to maximize natural light, creating a space that is intentionally creative and visually distinct.〞





Designed for year-round living, this eclectic home in Lake Forest features a dramatic 2-story library with a spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, and a vibrant architectural style that blends Prairie, French, and Modern influences.
