Natural beauty is showcased inside and out in the serene and artful homes created by Robbins Architecture. Led by architect Celeste Robbins, the Winnetka-based firm is celebrated for its warm, modernist homes that blend beauty and function while celebrating the natural context.

Robbins and her team utilize modernist design principles to create welcoming homes that are anything but cold and feature organic materials and a flow between indoors and outdoors. Robbins recently published The Meaningful Modern Home: Soulful Architecture and Interiors, which showcases the firm’s work across the country, from a ranch retreat in Wyoming to a lakeside home in Michigan.
