How It Works
Between the English Tudor and Georgian estates near Indian Hill, the lakefront mansions along Sheridan Road, and the classic in-town homes near the Hubbard Woods business district, Winnetka's housing stock is unusually varied.
A roofline that reads perfectly on a Tudor's steep gables needs a different approach than a wraparound porch on a Dutch Colonial, and mature trees create opportunities for elegant tree wrapping beyond just the roofline.
Designed around your home's gables, dormers and entry — not a package.

Neighborhoods We Serve
Hubbard Woods | Indian Hill | Downtown Winnetka & East Winnetka
Hubbard Woods
Classic in-town homes near the Hubbard Woods business district, where tighter lots and walkable streets reward crisp, restrained rooflines and well-proportioned entry decor.
Indian Hill
English Tudor and Georgian estates set among mature oaks and elms — steep gables for roofline work, and trunk-to-branch mini lights that carry the display into the landscape.
Downtown / East Winnetka
Lakefront mansions along Sheridan Road and the village center beyond. Long, complex rooflines and generous frontage designed as one continuous composition.
Many Winnetka homes back up to the Green Bay Trail or sit near one of the village's five Lake Michigan beaches properties we design around rather than treat as an afterthought.
How It Works
What works best on Winnetka's Tudor, Georgian and Colonial homes — and on the mature landscaping that surrounds them.
Architectural Roofline Lighting
Steep Tudor and Georgian rooflines take roofline lighting especially well. Clean warm-white or color-changing runs traced along the roof edge, gutters and peaks — clipped, never stapled or taped.
Trunk-to-Branch Mini Lights
Mature trees near Indian Hill are a favorite for trunk-to-branch mini lights, with foundation shrubs threaded to match. Elegant tree wrapping that goes well beyond the roofline.
Custom Wreaths & Entry Garland
Custom wreaths sized to your front door, with garland run along entry columns, porch rails and lampposts for a finished, layered look at the approach.
