Our clients’ family traces its roots back to Ribera, Sicily. When embarking on a new custom build in Wheaton, Illinois, they hoped to blend the charm and easy hospitality of the European countryside, known for lush orange groves, wheat fields, and vineyards, with fresh American modernity. The resulting home is truly reflective of their refined aesthetic. Flooded with natural light, rich colors, and timeless heirlooms, this “forever home” will be a haven for years to come.
This deeply collaborative home, created alongside DeGroot Construction and Derrick Architecture, reflects enduring relationships, thoughtful design, and a shared vision for gathering across generations.
