A rare evening view of the north addition. Originally a conference room, the Langsdorfs gently converted it to a master bedroom ca. 1960. #paulschweikher #martyllangsdorf #paulschweikherhouse #cantilever #leklint #housemuseum #midcenturymodern #chicagoarchitecture #schaumburg

Now (2022) and then (1946). The Schweikher House property has much more vegetation today compared to its rural, agrarian early days. But we think we're still looking pretty good! #paulschweikher #paulschweikherhouse #schweikher #martyllangsdorf #architecture #midcenturymodern

We are very sad to share that former board member of the Schweikher House Preservation Trust, Jack Netter, has passed away. Jack was incredibly generous with his time and expertise and was one of the kindest people we have ever known. We are a better organization thanks to Jack.

Paul Schweikher incorporated passive solar design to help heat the sleeping wing of his own house in 1938. The sun enters the bedroom further everyday until the winter solstice, as it descends lower into the winter sky in the northern hemisphere. Photo from #autumnequinox, 2019.

Happy World Architecture Day! "Simplify, simplify, simplify" was about the only description Schweikher provided of his architectural style, quoting Thoreau. Plainspoken wood, brick and glass look their best in his home and studio outside Chicago. Come visit! #worldarchitectureday
