What would have been a teardown now stands proudly in this affluent suburb of Chicago known for its Frank Lloyd Wright influences. Our passionate clients had the vision to bring a neglected property back to - and even beyond - its original beauty! Intricate millwork and art glass were refurbished and complemented with present-day materials, leaving visitors wondering what is original and what is new. Our design philosophy wasn’t what would the Vienna secessionist have done then, but rather what would they do today? This freed us to infuse modern elements throughout without insulting the original intent. The Albert True House now tells a story of history, passion, and quality artisanship from then and now.
