Residence 1 Lake Bluff, Illinois

Set on a 45-x-25-foot lot in Lake Bluff, a northshore Chicago suburb, this 2,900 square-foot house is designed on a tight city lot and creates an appealing side entry and de-emphasizes the garage on the street façade. The dining room and foyer are directly linked. This allows the dining room to become the focal point of the entry, the most visible part of the home when guests enter. This is the first residence designed by Chuck Bassett while principal of TCI Design.

Completed in 1990.

Featured in Better Homes & Garden Special Interest Publications, Fall 1993. Also was on the cover for the Best of Home Plans, Spring 1995.
