“Living in Western Springs is [like] living in a Hallmark movie. We have a quaint, picturesque downtown area with a local bakery, grocery store, and boutiques. The town is very safe and has highly rated public schools.” — From a Niche.com review
Certainly, Western Springs has a lot to offer — a fantastic location convenient to all the Chicago has to offer but without the hustle-and-bustle associated with city life. And if you’re ready to start calling Western Springs home, the Orren Pickell Building Group can help. For the past 40 years, we’ve helped your neighbors and friends — homeowners right here in Western Springs — to design and construct high-quality, luxury custom homes.
Designing a Western Springs custom home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming with all of the options and choices available to you. The expert design and architectural teams at the Orren Pickell Building Group — along with your dedicated project manager — will help ensure that your custom home design experience is enjoyable and stress-free.
We’ll kick things off with a complimentary consultation, learning more about you and your family’s needs, your style, and your preferences. Do you have a particular vision for what your custom home should look like, down to specific finishes and fixtures? Or do you have a general sense of the types of spaces you need but want additional design guidance? Either way, we’ll guide you through the process, gathering your thoughts and sharing ideas and solutions you may not have yet considered. After all, Western Springs custom home design is our specialty.
And unlike other luxury custom home firms that work with you on the design, then hand off the construction of your home to a completely different builder, the Orren Pickell Building Group can handle every aspect of the home design and build process. Because we construct the homes we design, we can ensure that everything you see on the blueprints and renderings can be created in real-life — without having to deal with unpleasant last-minute choices or compromises.
There’s no better time to take the first step toward creating your Western Springs custom home. Contact us today to set up a time for a complimentary consultation with the Orren Pickell Building Group’s award-winning design team.
