Celeste Robbins

My love for design and craft began at an early age. Growing up in Ohio, I would spend hours constructing elaborate forts using safety pins and blankets tucked into drawers, and my passion for architecture continued to grow through the years. After training at Cornell University and completing a fellowship in Europe, I spent several years working on the East Coast before returning to my Midwest roots and settling in Chicago.

Architecture and artistry are in my DNA. My signature aesthetic is rooted in a deep understanding of modernism and a belief that every design should be edited until the solution is meaningful, serene, and beautiful—as livable as it is elegant. I am passionate about deepening the connection between a home and its surroundings, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor. Inherent flexibility, modern livability, and timeless beauty define my work, resulting in harmonious spaces that fit my clients’ tastes and lifestyles.

Following Timeless Design Principles

Modernism is not an edgy, severe aesthetic.

It is a collection of design principles—a balance of scale, an emphasis on the movement within and between spaces, and a connection to nature.

As architects, we choreograph those principles to create warm and livable homes that connect deeply with the people who live in them. Each space embodies who they are, what they love and how they live, whether that is tucked in the mountains, overlooking the ocean or towering above a city.

Every choice we make is purposeful, with a dedication to detail, a discerning eye and a mind for creative, elegant solutions. And each decision shapes the home into livable art—the seamless flow between indoors and outdoors, the framing of expansive views, the play of light along the walls.
