Custom Home Construction in Chicago’s North Shore

Lux Builders NorthShore plans and builds custom homes across the North Shore and surrounding Chicagoland communities. We lead your project from the first conversation through permits, village inspections, and final handoff. You work with one accountable team, a clear plan, and a disciplined schedule.

What We Build

We deliver high-end custom homes designed around how you live. Our team coordinates architecture, engineering, and interior design so structure, systems, and finishes align. We focus on strong building envelopes, efficient layouts, and durable materials that add long-term value. Kitchens, baths, and custom millwork receive the same attention as framing and MEP. Every choice supports comfort, performance, and clean detailing.

How We Work

Consult and site review. We meet to confirm goals, timeline, budget, and site conditions. If you are still evaluating lots, we review feasibility and help compare options.

Design and selections. We collaborate with architects, civil engineers, and interior designers. You approve plans and specifications with a defined scope and clear allowances.

Permits and approvals. We prepare and submit applications, track comments, and schedule required village inspections to keep the work moving.

Build and supervise. A dedicated project manager leads vetted trades on a milestone schedule. You receive regular updates, site photos, and standing meeting options.

Deliver and support. We complete punch lists, assemble closeout documents, and walk you through systems, finishes, and maintenance.

Building in the North Shore: Experience That Matters

Each North Shore community has its own architectural identity and municipal requirements. Lux Builders’ local knowledge ensures every home we design and construct not only meets village codes but also complements the beauty of its surroundings.

Whether it’s working within the historical charm of Kenilworth, maximizing views in Lake Forest, or incorporating modern energy-efficient systems in Park Ridge, our understanding of local standards helps us navigate projects seamlessly.

We also take pride in developing strong relationships with city planners, subcontractors, and local artisans—ensuring smooth communication and impeccable results.

Our Design Philosophy: Functional Elegance

At Lux Builders NorthShore, we believe a custom home should be as functional as it is beautiful. Our architectural designs prioritize natural light, open spaces, and flow between indoor and outdoor living areas.

We incorporate:

• Energy-efficient systems and smart home technology
• Premium materials for durability and long-term value
• Elegant finishes that reflect each client’s personal taste
• Custom-built features such as wine rooms, home offices, and outdoor entertainment spaces

The result? Homes that feel elevated yet inviting—crafted to last generations.

Planning for Real Life

Floor plans prioritize natural circulation, sightlines, and storage. Kitchens support cooking and gathering without congestion. Primary suites balance privacy and access. Mudrooms, pantries, and laundry rooms fit daily routines. Basements and bonus spaces adapt to media, fitness, or guest use. We address acoustics, lighting layers, and smart-home infrastructure early so choices integrate cleanly and avoid rework.

Collaboration With Your Team

Already working with an architect or designer? We plug in during pre-construction to align drawings with budget and schedule. Our estimating and value guidance help you make decisions before plans go to permit. If you need a full team, we introduce architects, civil engineers, landscape designers, and interior designers who fit your project scale and style.

Service Areas

We build throughout Chicago’s North Shore and nearby communities, including Northbrook, Glenview, Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northfield, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnshire, Vernon Hills, and Park Ridge. If your city is close, we likely serve it.
