DJK Custom Homes

Choosing a home is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make. It’s where everyday moments turn into lifelong memories—where children grow, friendships form, and a sense of belonging takes root. At Heritage Place, that belief is at the heart of everything we build.

Heritage Place is proudly developed and built by DJK Custom Homes, a trusted Naperville custom home builder serving Chicagoland families since 1988. Founded by Dan and Kim Kittilsen, DJK Custom Homes began with a simple but powerful mission: to create homes that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully designed for the people who live in them.

For more than three decades, DJK Custom Homes has guided homeowners through the building journey with clarity, craftsmanship, and care. Families often come to us wanting more than just a new house—they want confidence in their builder, a healthy indoor environment, and a home that will serve them well for years to come. DJK answers that need by combining architectural excellence with proven building science, energy-efficient construction, and durable materials that stand the test of time.

As both the builder and developer of Heritage Place, DJK Custom Homes brings a unified vision to the entire community. From land planning and neighborhood design to construction and final finishes, every detail is intentionally crafted to support comfortable living, lasting value, and a strong sense of community. This integrated approach allows us to ensure consistency, quality, and thoughtful design across every home and every street.

What sets DJK Custom Homes apart is not just how we build—but why we build. Our homes are designed to support healthy lifestyles through superior indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and smart construction practices. We believe families deserve spaces that feel safe, welcoming, and inspiring—homes that work as hard as they do.

Rooted in relationships and community trust, DJK Custom Homes has spent decades earning its reputation as a premier luxury home builder and residential developer in Naperville and throughout the western suburbs of Chicago. Our success is measured not just by the homes we construct, but by the families who choose to live in them and the neighborhoods that grow stronger because of them.

At Heritage Place, that story comes together in one thoughtfully designed community—where modern architecture meets timeless craftsmanship, and where families can begin their next chapter with confidence.

DJK Custom Homes doesn’t just build houses. We help families come home.

Refined Design

The Refined Design team is dedicated to creating an exceptional and personalized client experience through thoughtful planning and impeccable design. Every project begins with listening—taking the time to truly understand each client’s vision, lifestyle, and priorities. While every family has its own sense of style, they all share a common goal: a home that feels welcoming, functional, and enduring.

The Refined Design team believes great design goes beyond trends. Their mission is to craft spaces that families can enjoy today and continue to love as their needs evolve over time. By balancing beauty with practicality, they create homes that are comfortable for everyday living while remaining flexible enough to adapt to changing lifestyles, growing families, and new phases of life.

With a deep knowledge of current design trends, materials, and finishes, the Refined Design team brings both creativity and expertise to every project. Rather than simply following what is popular, they thoughtfully reinterpret modern styles to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind interiors that reflect each client’s personality. This approach ensures every home feels unique—never cookie-cutter—while still maintaining a timeless quality that will stand the test of time.

From concept to completion, the Refined Design team guides clients through each decision with confidence and care, helping transform ideas into cohesive, inspired spaces. Their attention to detail, collaborative process, and passion for craftsmanship result in homes that are not only visually stunning, but deeply livable—spaces where families can relax, gather, and truly feel at home.
