The Two Gables Residence in Glencoe, Illinois, is an 8,700 sf single‑family home with a separate pool house, designed to provide a flexible yet intimate environment for a couple transitioning into empty‑nest living. Drawing from modern vernacular architecture, the home is organized into three distinct spaces: the Sleeping Shed, the Living Shed, and the Central Pavilion.
The Sleeping Shed serves as a private wing, containing the primary suite, two guest bedrooms, and an office. The Living Shed accommodates the kitchen, pantry, mudroom, laundry, and a large gathering space known as the Coffee Room, which features a full wall of windows overlooking the ravine. The lower level includes a full bath with a steam shower, an exercise room, and a dedicated music and media room. Above the garage, integrated into the Living Shed, is an additional office with views over the kitchen and shared living areas.
