THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW: This image shows the lakeside of the home and because of the precise shapes, has a Mondrian feel. Lighting and ceiling
treatments were key when we designed this house—both catch your eye from the rear perspective. The house is in Wilnette, Illinois.
FACING PAGE: Quietly dramatic, the staircase in the entryway is the first thing you see when you step into the home. Its sculptural appeal
deserves full attention and thus, there is no artwork or competing elements to draw away from it. The elegant, modern light fixture
extends through three floors.
