Wilmette

Wilmette is a residential project designed by Nicholas Design Collaborative and completed in 2020 on North Wolcott Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The house responds to the context of its urban site, seeking to create a contemporary dwelling suited to city living while maintaining privacy and connection to its surroundings. The design is characterized by a modern approach that emphasizes clean lines and a restrained material palette. Interior spaces are arranged to maximize natural light and functionality, reflecting a careful balance between openness and seclusion. Materials and details focus on durability and simplicity, aligning with contemporary architectural values. The project demonstrates a thoughtful integration of modern design principles within the residential fabric of its neighborhood.
