BACKGROUND
Unfold Architecture designs custom homes to be direct reflections of its clients’ lives. With the belief that the best homes are deeply personal—places to unwind and connect—the company prioritizes client visions while also incorporating sustainable building practices along the way. As a tech-forward, agile team, they take pride in their collaborative approach—designing each home in response to both the client’s unique aspirations and the context of the site.
STANDOUT APPROACH
With a personal and intentional approach, Unfold Architecture is able to shape truly intimate, unique homes. The firm’s process is split into five distinct phases: Discover, Define, Develop, Detail, and Deliver. Through these phases, the team ensures consistent involvement throughout the entire process, from initial planning to building and completion. “We like to spend time in the early phases of our project really getting to know our clients and understand what makes them unique,” says Greg Vose, co-founder. “We challenge ourselves to think outside the standard paradigm of what makes a house a home, and then design something that supports and heightens the day-to-day lives of our clients.”
SLEEK & SUSTAINABLE
With a responsibility to be good stewards of the earth, the company strives to prioritize sustainability in its designs. Geothermal, exterior insulation, and passive heating/cooling strategies are just a few elements Unfold Architecture has implemented into its structures. In fact, the company was recently recognized for its sustainable design efforts in the 2023 Midwest Home Design Awards. This award is one of many on the team’s list of accolades, showcasing their craftsmanship and dedication to sustainable, quality architecture.
