Gensburg Toniolo Harting Architects

At GTH Architects, our mission is to create architectural masterpieces that not only reflect our clients' personalities and lifestyles but also seamlessly integrate into their surroundings. Founded in 2007 by Betsy Gensburg, John Toniolo, and Jeff Harting, our firm has established itself as a premier architectural practice in the Chicago area, with a focus on residential new construction, renovations, additions, restorations, and interior design services. Over the years, we have developed a reputation for crafting bespoke homes that are not only visually stunning but also functional and sustainable.

Our Philosophy

At GTH Architects, we believe that architecture should be tailored to each client's unique needs and lifestyle. Our philosophy is simple: we select the architectural fabric that creates the home and tailor it to be stylistically appropriate and a perfect fit for our clients' families. We take the time to listen to our clients' thoughts and requests, weaving together their ideas into a custom-fitted and truly original design. Our goal is to create homes that are timeless, leaving no personal mark or label as to who created it.

Our Services

Our architectural services encompass a wide range of projects, from new construction to renovations, additions, and restorations. We excel at finding the perfect balance between form and function, working closely with our clients to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Our team of experienced architects, designers, and project managers is dedicated to delivering exceptional results that meet our clients' high standards.

Our Expertise

With 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. Our expertise also extends to additions and renovations that blend seamlessly with their original architectural fabric, restorations that find the hidden heart of a home, and interior design features that complete the project as a whole.

Our Team

At GTH Architects, we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach to design, working closely with our clients, interior designers, kitchen designers, landscape architects, and builders to create unique and personalized spaces. Our team is led by President Jeff Harting, Partner John Toniolo, and Vice President Betsy Gensburg, all esteemed professionals in the field of architecture.
