Set on a spacious lot in Aurora, this natural stone, French Provincial-inspired 7,500 square foot space is home to a busy family. A custom-built combination of old-world charm and modern conveniences, the house strikes the perfect balance between the needs of a young, active family with the desire for a traditional design aesthetic. The warm, natural stone façade complements a thoughtfully conceived interior carefully designed for comfort and efficiency. For the owners of this grand home, a transparent process and cost control were key to completing the project on time and on budget.

“Porter Skelton provided the balance between the architect’s vision and the realities of our budget, offering practical alternatives that yielded a similar result at a lower cost. Every detail of the project was carefully considered and thought through; tremendous care and quality went into our home. In the years since we’ve built the house, they’ve provided professional follow up and have given us lots of time and input. Chris and Andrew are great people. For them, it’s about the love of the work.”
