Featured in St. Louis Homes + Lifestyles: Two Homes, Three Unique Stories

At Schaub Projects, every home begins with a conversation. We believe the best architecture is deeply personal—shaped by the people who will live there, the property it occupies, and the experiences it is designed to create.

We’re honored that two of our recent custom home projects have been featured in St. Louis Homes + Lifestyles magazine. While each home reflects a distinct architectural style and lifestyle, they all share a common thread: thoughtful collaboration, timeless design, and an unwavering commitment to creating homes that feel uniquely tailored to their owners.

Frontenac : A Home Designed for Everyday Living and Extraordinary Entertaining

This 12,900-square-foot custom residence was designed to balance grandeur with comfort.

Inspired by the timeless charm of the English Cotswolds, the home combines stone, stucco, and timber to create an exterior that feels both elegant and welcoming. Inside, transitional interiors support everything from large-scale entertaining to quiet evenings with family.

One of our favorite details came directly from the homeowners. They wanted to be able to look out from the kitchen sink and see their kids enjoying the pool. It’s a simple request, but one that perfectly illustrates our philosophy: exceptional homes aren’t defined only by their architecture—they’re defined by how they support everyday life.

 

And Then…

When the opportunity arose for this same family to purchase the neighboring 2.5-acre property, these homeowners saw more than an empty lot—they saw the chance to create a home that would grow alongside their family for years to come.

Working closely with our team, they envisioned spaces tailored to every stage of life: a welcoming main level for everyday living, private bedroom suites for their now kids, and a lower level dedicated to recreation, complete with a golf simulator, pool table, and seamless access to the outdoors.

Outside, the vision continued with gathering spaces designed for every season, including a swimming pool, hot tub, screened porch, pickleball court, and fire pit. Every element was intentionally planned to encourage connection, relaxation, and making memories together.

 

St. Louis County: Honoring the Past While Looking Ahead

This St. Louis County project demonstrates that meaningful architecture isn’t always about starting from scratch.

For this home, the design focused on thoughtfully reimagining the residence for modern living. The result is a home that feels timeless and authentic, balancing architectural integrity with the functionality, comfort, and craftsmanship today’s homeowners expect.

Projects like this remind us that great design isn’t about following trends. It’s about understanding what makes a place special and building upon that foundation in thoughtful, lasting ways.

 

Architecture Designed Around the Way You Live

Every family is different. Every property presents unique opportunities. And every project deserves a design solution that reflects both.

Whether we’re creating a new custom home, transforming an existing residence, or helping clients determine the best path forward for a property, our approach remains the same: listen carefully, collaborate openly, and create architecture that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
