“We have wanted to live in east Wilmette for a while now. But space is a premium and we desperately did not want to feel boxed in. A. Perry Homes took our hopes and concerns–and even how we like to start our day–and blew us away with they way they understood us. We can’t imagine a better home for us. We love it.”
“The design techniques used in this home are master level examples of how to create expansive interior spaces, filled with natural light and targeted views, while maintaining privacy and a sense of open space on a relatively narrow city infill lot. The architect’s use of glass and other openings, in many cases creating visual voids in the corners of rooms, causes unexpected site lines and blurring of room definitions as you experience the space.”
