Adding the finishing touches to a project– it’s the bookend on a long, complex progress.

When you’re in your newly refreshed home, we hope all you’ll see is a space perfectly fit for you. For our team, though, we’ll always remember it for the problems solved, camaraderie behind the scenes and the satisfaction of knowing someone feels at home in a space we helped make.

Current chapters at some of our ongoing projects:
1. Punchlist at a stunning lake house.
Design: .krueger.design

2. Taking out some old wallpaper in Winnetka to get ready for a new color palette throughout the house.
Design:

3. Made some major updates to the steel structure of this house in Lincoln Park.
Architecture: En Masse Architecture + Design

4. This white box space in Evanston is ready for millwork to start being installed.

5. We’re nearly done with this unforgettable bathroom project.

6. Ripped down hundreds of bricks to chip away at this two story addition.

Behind every set of concrete steps, there were hours of prep work, shoveling, and smoothing.

You only get one shot at concrete, so having the right team to makes all the difference.

Antique finds in old homes are the lifeblood of authentic character. And this is a tale of two antiques:

1. The hob grate cast iron fireplace at this nineteenth century row house had so much history baked into it. It made cold nights warmer, holidays cozier, and served as the backdrop to generations of families who occupied this home. Giving it a little TCL and the chance to be a focal point, albeit in a new part of the house, was a way to giving the object a new lease on life.

2. This marble surround was moved across the first floor. With some help from the team at we were able to restore and reinstall this sculptural piece. In its new location, this surround has taken its rightful place as the focal point of the room.

We are big on modernizing homes, but never at the expense of the items and history that make them special.

2. The marble mantel was moved across the first floor to take its rightful place as a focal point of the living room. During construction, we took this item off site to protect its sculptural details from any damage. Our friends helped restore and reinstall this piece of history.

Natural materials have been the name of the game for us the past few weeks. The materials selected for remodel or addition play a monumental role in how the final a space comes together, even if you don’t see it in the final version of a room or building.

1. Marble tile and herringbone solid white oak floors are grounding this project in Evanston.
Architecture:

2. A wine cellar in Lake Forest completely transformed this basement nook.
Design:

3. A three story addition is underway in Lincoln Park.

4. Matching the profile of existing molding in Old Town.
Design:

5. A wine cellar in Lake Forest completely transformed this basement nook.

6. Making progress with new drywall up in a primary bathroom.

7. This custom stair railing has taken its final form. We’ll share what it looks like once it’s stained soon.
Architecture: .viamontes_arch

8. Sauna install days cap off a lot of HVAC and plumbing work. Always satisfying to see it framed in and sealed with a glass enclosure.
