A comprehensive estate commission — grand in scale, disciplined in detail, and tailored to the way the family actually lives.
The Lake Forest Estate pairs the formality expected of the North Shore with rooms that feel genuinely lived-in. Classical proportion organizes the plan while the material language stays modern and honest: plaster, limestone, bronze, and wood left to show their grain.
Every principal room was designed around a specific ritual — morning light in the breakfast room, the fall of a chandelier over the dining table, a library scaled for reading rather than display. The result is an estate that reads as effortless precisely because nothing was left to chance.
