On August 11, 2026, we will celebrate 40 years in business. The rehabilitation of 1235 S. Wabash Avenue goes back to the beginning in 1986.

A college friend and I set out to become architect-developers, but we had very little capital. We approached the building’s owner and offered our architectural and construction services as our equity contribution. In the end, we acquired a 49% stake, while the seller kept a controlling 51% interest.

Once we persuaded our parents to co-sign for a construction loan at 18% interest, the project was underway.

It was a bumpy road, but in the end, the project succeeded and taught us both invaluable lessons about partnerships, business, construction, and the realities of Chicago Street politics.

We are excited to be getting started on a new design for the expansion and remodeling of an existing family cottage on this scenic site in upstate New York. The site offers commanding views of Port Bay and Lake Ontario. The new design will draw on the organic principles of Frank Lloyd Wright emphasizing harmony with the site and landscape.
