Modern North Shore Architects?

I would love any and all recommendations -- I'm trying to put an addition on my 1950's split-level in Glenview. I met with a few architects, liked one who was tremendously expensive, liked another who seems casual about things like contracts (which bothers me, I'm a lawyer), and now I'm continuing the hunt. Not looking for someone with a huge website and two offices -- trying to keep this within my budget. But I am looking for someone who uses materials in a creative way, exposing structure, going industrial. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

without trying to be too self-serving here, our firm does quite a few modern additions and renovations. It sounds like an interesting project that we would definitely like to look at if you haven't already found someone else. Please see some of our other work @ www.squarerootarch.com and email me (kate@squarerootarch.com) if you'd be interested in setting up a meeting. If not, best of luck with your modern addition!

Thanks for sharing the info. It also helped me in knowing about architects and modern furniture.
