Custom Home in Burr Ridge
A ground-up house in Burr Ridge, drawn around how the family wanted to use it rather than around a plan that was already sitting in a catalog.
Drawn around a family, not a catalog
Burr Ridge sits in the western suburbs, and the houses there are expected to hold their detail. This one was built from the footings up. The elevation, the roof lines and the window package were argued over while they were still lines on a drawing, which is the only stage where changing them is cheap.
What that buys you later is a quieter job. By the time trades were on site there was very little left to work out, so the schedule read the same in week twelve as it did in week one. Decisions that did come up had an owner and a date against them rather than a phone call at short notice.
