Lincoln Park, in two quietly composed volumes.
Fullerton Pointe is a pair of four-story buildings set side-by-side on West Fullerton — a limestone-clad flat-front and a softer, arched sibling — unified by a single hand and a single material palette.
The east building reads as a contemporary town home: tall rectangular casements, clean stone reveals, a formal entry set back from the street. The west building answers in round-arched windows and bowed balconies — a warmer, more classical cadence drawn from the pre-war greystones that line the block. Together they behave like one address; apart they keep the rhythm of Lincoln Park intact.
Inside, the residences share a consistent language: rift-sawn white oak floors, honed quartzite, unlacquered brass, and windows placed to follow the sun. We drew them for people who want Lincoln Park and still want privacy — a dedicated entry, a proper mudroom, and a kitchen that was actually drawn to be cooked in.
Our site sits a half-block east of the park on a tree-lined stretch of West Fullerton — a block with the gentle rhythm that makes Lincoln Park feel like Lincoln Park. Stone-front two-flats from the 1890s. Red-brick six-flats from the 1920s. A church. A coffee shop that's been there forty years.
Building here means working inside that rhythm, not against it. A single long façade would have broken the block. Two siblings — slightly different in their expression — step into the cadence instead.
The goal was never to announce ourselves — it was to join the block, convincingly.
The east building is the quieter of the two: cast-stone lintels, deep-set rectangular windows, and recessed juliet balconies that cast real shadow. It reads almost like a row of town homes stitched into one address.
The west building picks up the block's older accent — round-arched windows at every level, a formal round-arched entry, and shallow bowed bays that catch the light as it crosses Fullerton. The two buildings share a single stone palette, a single window color, a single bronze hardware family. Stand on the opposite sidewalk and they read as one composition in two voices.
Each residence was planned around how a day actually moves. A dedicated entry hall — not a hallway — with full detailed wall paneling, a bench for boots, and a place for the coat before you ever reach the living room. Kitchens anchored on the quiet side of the plan, with a sightline to the dining table and the front door.
Fullerton Pointe is where we put our sound and structure budget: a poured concrete stair core instead of stick framing, an extra-deep floor sandwich with Hushboard and a second plywood layer underfoot, resilient channels in the demising walls, and windows rated for heavy acoustic attenuation at the street. You hear the city when you want to, and not when you don't.

Three floor plates, sixteen residences.
Close to the park, kept from the avenue.
The site sits a half-block east of the park and a few strides north of Fullerton — an address that puts the Conservatory, the Zoo, and the lakefront path inside a ten-minute walk, without putting any of that traffic at your front door.
Most mornings the block wakes up to school drop-off, the corner café, and the couple at the greystone next door walking their dog. That is, truthfully, the product.
