Onnie looks fairly put together now, but some of our favorite parts happened before the finished photographs. Boxes on roofs, blankets hung out in the sun, chasing the right light and plenty of moments that never quite made it into the final frame.

We kept a lot of those in-between bits because they tell the story of making Onnie too.

One thing we try very hard to avoid is what we lovingly refer to as the postage stamp rug. You know the one. It sits politely in the middle of a big room while all the furniture floats somewhere around it.

A rug is one of the first things we think about when we’re building a room, right up there with the palette. It helps establish where the furniture belongs and, especially in a larger room, getting the scale right can make the whole space feel more generous. Going too small tends to do exactly the opposite.

From there, we figure out what the room is asking for. Sometimes the rug gets to have a little fun, sometimes its job is to sit back and make everything else look good. Either way, we’re measuring before we fall in love.

I don’t know who decided that a grown-up house required grown-up behavior, but we respectfully disagree. Especially when said house is sitting on Lake Michigan.

These clients have grown children and wanted their Winnetka home to be the place everyone genuinely wanted to come back to. So yes, there are beautiful rooms and a very beautiful lake outside the windows. There’s also a pool table, dart board, wet bar and a neon sign declaring Rosé All Day downstairs.

We kept the references to the lake on the right side of nautical, then made sure nothing felt so precious that the family had to behave differently around it. Refined enough to be their primary home, relaxed enough to remember it’s a lake house.

There are worse things to bring home from Colorado than the feeling of a mountain house. For these clients, who had fallen in love with the mood of their Telluride home, the question was how to bring some of that back to Glencoe without making Illinois pretend to be Colorado.

We went darker and earthier than we often do here, letting stone, wood and some very good, weighty textiles do a lot of the work. The result has the grounded feeling they loved out west, but belongs completely to this house and the way they live in it.

It also happens to look particularly good in October.

The Ben bench is meant to change a little once it’s yours. The oil-and-wax tanned leather softens and deepens with use, getting better with the years.

One of a handful of silhouettes ANDREA GOLDMAN designed with Justin Nelson, built in their studio in Bend, Oregon. We like it at the foot of a bed, in an entry, or pulled up to a table.

Well-Chosen. Available through the link in our bio.

The best collaborations start before anything is built. Working with an architect from the beginning means figuring out the whole house together. Questioning things. Changing our minds. Going back to the drawings. And occasionally admitting someone else had the better idea. The houses are always better for it.

For World Architecture Day, we’re stepping outside to celebrate a few of our projects, and the architects we’ve had the pleasure of figuring them out with.

We could have introduced Onnie a million different ways, but piling a car full of boxes and driving them from Wisconsin to Chicago somehow felt the most like us.

The road trip was a nod to where I came from, where I ended up, and all the places, people, and things that have shaped my eye somewhere in between.

Now that Onnie is officially out in the world, I hope you have as much fun discovering it as I’ve had getting here.

When we started designing this home, the family wanted a place where everyone could kick off their shoes and stay awhile. Nothing too precious, plenty of room for several generations to be together, and an easy flow between inside and out.

25 Beautiful Homes Magazine took a tour of our Sawyer project, getting into the thinking behind the home, from the no-TV living space to the colors, materials and little details that make it ready for a houseful.

Thank you Vivienne Ayers for such a lovely feature.

September is when we start pretending summer is over while continuing to eat breakfast with the doors wide open. At this Glencoe home, we wanted the breakfast room and kitchen to make that kind of denial very easy.

The round table sits right between the kitchen and pool, so it works for coffee in the morning, lunch straight out of the water, and dinner when nobody feels like going back inside yet. The kitchen is deliberately straightforward and hardworking, with plenty of storage and enough room for a family of six to actually use it at the same time.
