Winnetka Estate
- Location
- Winnetka, IL
- Scope
- Single-Family Residence
A North Shore estate where architecture and interiors are conceived as one continuous idea — restrained, warm, and built to last.
On Chicago's North Shore, the Winnetka Estate is a study in quiet permanence. The architecture sets a calm, symmetrical frame; the interiors answer it with natural stone, rift-cut oak, and a palette drawn from the surrounding landscape.
Rooms are proportioned for real life as much as for occasion — generous circulation, deep window reveals, and sightlines that carry from the entry through to the garden. Custom millwork and bespoke furnishings, several from Darcy Bonner's own collections, give the house a sense of having always been there.
