Bound books for exceptional homes
Property books
For the homes that are better understood slowly. A bound book left on the kitchen island, sent to a serious buyer, or kept by the seller long after closing.
A property book is the most considered piece we make. It is closer to a monograph than a brochure: a cover with real presence, a sequence of photographs given full pages, short essays on the architecture and the setting, floor plans, and the practical details at the back where a buyer's agent expects to find them.
We plan the book with you after the photography is done. Which rooms get a spread, which details deserve a close crop, what the house is really about. The writing is restrained. A good book does not tell the reader how to feel.
Files are delivered ready for a print-on-demand or offset printer of your choice, with a digital edition for buyers who will not be in Chicago before they make a decision.
