Liederbach and Graham Architects in collaboration with Frank Ponterio Interiors created this stunning waterfront house with laid-back luxury situated in Winnetka, a village in Cook County, Illinois. Nestled along Lake Michigan’s North Shore, this dwelling is beautifully situated to take advantage of sweeping water views and exemplifies the elegant, yet relaxed style desired by the homeowners.

The home is a collection of smaller picturesque compositions, each a single room-wide, celebrating simple materials assembled with great care. From the architectural vision and execution to the interiors, outdoor living spaces, and landscape, this home reflects a curated selection of furnishings and materials to complement a striking, world-class art collection.

What We Love: This luxury waterfront house provides its inhabitants with relaxed beach-style interiors with sophisticated details throughout. The contemporary artwork adds to the overall luxe aesthetic, along with the designer furnishings and light fixtures. We love the idyllic location of this home along the water and the way the house is elevated to soak in the beyond-spectacular views.
