"Chicago Architecture Firm Selects Scotch Fixture for Wisconsin Farmhouse. Designed by Chicago-based architecture firm Collective Office, a modern farmhouse nestled amid the rolling prairies of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. Seeking to create an indoor-outdoor sensibility open to the landscape, they conceived of a single-story structure that mirrors its environment rather than dominating it.”

"Collective Office built outwards instead of upwards. The prairie is a place of openness, where the sky is big and the land is flat. Anything built on top of it becomes a focal point on the big horizon, which is why Chicago architecture studio Collective Office designed this house to commune with the prairie instead of overwhelm it." by Liz Stinson

Timber Lane Residence Featured in Crain’s
Jun 2018
The Timber Lane Residence was designed as a modern minimilist iteration to the popular southwest Michigan cottage. We've designed an efficient 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, with the focus on how a young family would use the residence on this corner lot. The material choices are common to residential vernacular in the area, used in a thoughtful way to distinguish this home in the neighborhood.
Collective Office Takes on Timber Frame Construction
Jun 2018
Collective Office continues to study the possibilities of timber frame in high rise design for the South Loop Masterplan project. The South Loop Masterplan project proposes large scale infill development from a strategic progamming perspective for the vacant sites that still exist in the South Loop. We have the position that these sites should be thought of together, and not as individuals, in order to add the best mix possible of residential, commerical and hospitality to the existing area. This neighborhood is very unique with all the large available parcels of land.
