The 'Two Gables' residence in Glencoe, Illinois, is a 8,700 sf single-family home with an additional pool house, designed to create a flexible, but intimate space for a couple transitioning into empty-nest life. Inspired by modern vernacular architecture, the home is composed of three distinct spaces: the Sleeping Shed, the Living Shed, and the central Pavilion.
The Sleeping Shed houses the primary suite, two guest bedrooms, and an office, creating a private retreat. The Living Shed contains the kitchen, back-of-house spaces—including a pantry, mudroom, and laundry—and a spacious gathering area known as the Coffee Room, which features a full wall of windows overlooking the ravine. The basement level includes a full bath with a steam shower, an exercise room, and a music/media room. Above the garage, which is integrated into the Living Shed, is an office offering a view of the kitchen and living areas below.
