A home should be as livable as it is elegant. Our work is distinctive because it’s modern and edited, yet warm and comfortable.

New Monograph Available September 13, 2023
An inspiring collection of contemporary homes by architect Celeste Robbins, principal of Robbins Architecture, whose modern designs are imbued with warmth, comfort, and a deep sense of place.
In her first monograph, Chicago-based architect Celeste Robbins of Robbins Architecture proves that contemporary design can be inviting, comfortable, and graciously responsive to how we and our families live. Illustrating Robbins's holistic vision, which integrates architecture, interior design, and landscape, The Meaningful Modern Home features nine significant projects realized in different styles and natural materials. Set amid spectacular landscapes across the United States -- in Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming, Illinois, Idaho, and New York -- the residences all offer living proof of how modernism can be warm and rooted in a vivid sense of place.

Every choice we make is purposeful, with a dedication to detail, a discerning eye and a mind for creative, elegant solutions.
