Congrats are in order for several local firms who won awards from the American Institute of Architects for residential design work in Chicago. Shown here: Studio Gang Architects for the Brick-Weave house (top two photos; owned by the couple whose Wisconsin cabin we featured here; Florian Architects (bottom left); and Brinistool & Lynch (bottom right). The AIA Chicago announced the 2009 Design Excellence Awards last week.

Sheryl Roy is upping the ante on home style in Deerfield with her new store, Madden Home. Roy shops from artists in London, antique stores in Portugal, flea markets in Italy, designer showrooms in England, and trunk shows in Hawaii to bring original pieces to her shop, which is housed in an orignal 1900s home in downtown Deerfield. Find big names such as Jonathan Adler and Arte Italica, as well as lesser-knowns such as London-based Emma Bridgewater and Bob’s Your Uncle. Prices run the gamut, and styles range from salvaged finds to pristine accessories. We love it when designers mix it up. Roy also offers in-home design consults for $150—which can be applied toward purchases at the store.
