Custom homes · Western suburbs of Chicago
Custom homes, built a few at a time.
Corbel & Lane builds new custom homes and whole-house renovations in Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Western Springs and the towns around them. Three or four homes a year, each one run by a partner from the lot walk to the keys.
What we build
Three kinds of work
Most of our homes are new builds on teardown lots. We take on one or two major renovations a year when the house is worth saving.
-
New custom homes
Designed with your architect or ours, priced line by line and built start to finish by our own superintendent.
-
Whole-house renovations
For older homes with good bones: new systems, new layout and the original character kept where it counts.
-
Additions
Kitchens, primary suites and second stories that look like they were always part of the house.
Recently finished
A brick farmhouse in Hinsdale
- Size
- 5,200 square feet, five bedrooms
- Lot
- Teardown, 75 by 175 feet

- 13 months, finished 2025
Painted brick, a standing-seam roof and a curved porch the owners asked for on the first call. Inside: a kitchen built around a ten-foot island and a mudroom big enough for four kids' gear.

Where we build
Close to home, on purpose
We only build within about twenty minutes of our office. It's how a partner can be on every site, every week, and how we know each village's review process before we file.
Looking at a lot or a teardown? We'll walk it with you before you buy and tell you what it will and won't allow. There's no charge for that.
Ask about a lot
Available: a new home in Clarendon Hills
Five bedrooms on a 66-foot lot, a short walk to the train. Framing is done, and there's still time to choose the kitchen, finishes and fixtures. Ready next summer.
