Designed and built by the integrated NextHaus Alliance team.

Kat Barry of Compass Chicago is one of Chicago’s leading voices on real estate, known for her focus on sustainable design and wellness. In the latest episode of her “Modern Living TV” series, she takes us on a tour to highlight how sustainability and modern design come together through a HighDesign/Low Carbon™ design/build approach.

Designed by Kipnis Architecture + Planning and built by NextHaus Alliance, it’s a perfect example of how a home can be both high-performance and stylish.
