GTH Architects was created in 2007 by bringing the commitment and talents of Betsy Gensburg, John Toniolo and Jeff Harting together to form an intimate and focused architectural firm serving Chicago's North Shore, which includes Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park and Lake Forest, Chicago, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, California, New Mexico, and Washington D.C. We provide full architectural services for residential new construction, renovations, additions, restorations, and interior design services. Having extensive knowledge of historically correct forms, details and materials, we are able to create new homes that draw from these elements and evoke a timeless quality; additions and renovations that blend seamlessly with their original architectural fabric; restorations that find the hidden heart of a home and allow it to shine once more; and interiors design features that become the final thread that unifies and completes the project as a whole.

Working intimately with our clients, interior designers, kitchen designers, landscape architects and builders, we find the most successful projects are those that allow the design to be a collaboration of these key individuals and companies. With the client's goals always at forefront, it is our responsibility to maintain the overall vision of the project and filter the recommendations of this collaboration to achieve the highest quality, most appropriate, aesthetically pleasing and cohesive end result.
