CUSTOM HOME :: The architectural significance of the homes of River Forest is not lost on us, and when given the opportunity to design a home here we know that exterior design is going to be an exciting adventure. Our clients for this project hoped to design a new home with a style that suggests it had been there for much longer. The weathered brick of this elevated Tudor-inspired home does exactly that, with traditional accents such as a DaVinci composite slate roof, pitched rooflines, and an arched doorway adding character to the elegant exterior.
