Morgante-Wilson Architects
EVANSTON, IL
The principals at Morgante-Wilson approach architecture like
you would a language. To understand it, you must learn the rules,
and once you're fluent, the creativity begins. Started more than
30 years ago, the Illinois-based firm has become versed in a wide
range of styles and is undoubtedly fluent. The team moves easily
between design, construction, and renovation—but it doesn't stop
there. Morgante-Wilson also includes an interior design group that
creates custom furniture to suit the most specific needs.
Led by husband and wife Fred Wilson and Elissa Morgante, the
firm designs homes that have one thing in common: livability. The
houses are practical, comforting, and meant to be lived in. Each
home speaks to the homeowners' specific needs and addresses
their lifestyle. The entire process is an exchange of ideas, but
begins by the principals listening to and understanding the
homeowners.
