Here is a look at the 1,100-square-foot brick home before the renovation.

Floor Plan of Pyrenees by David Noordhoff / Freeman Group Architects

The two-level cabins are outfitted with a metal spiral staircases that accesses the second story.

Taking an active role in the restoration of a midcentury house she and her husband bought near Chicago in 2013, Eva Kowalow honored the vision of the home’s architect and previous owner, Jack Viks, while updating the structure to fit her style and the needs of her family. The entrance gate, designed by Viks, is original.
