We meet to review your existing space, discuss how you want to live, and establish realistic goals. We listen carefully to your programmatic needs so we can shape a clean path forward for scope, budget, and timeline.

Because we handle the design in-house, we develop precise floor plans, structural layouts, and construction drawings. You see exactly how the space will function before any work begins on-site.

Navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is critical to keeping a project moving. We handle the paperwork, submit architectural drawing sets, and manage approvals directly with local municipal departments in Chicago and the suburbs.

We select materials based on durability, quality, and aesthetics—whether that means sourcing specialized hardwoods like ipe or selecting appropriate stone. Using our local CNC machining capabilities, we fabricate custom woodwork and tailored built-in details directly for your project.

We use advanced design and intelligent building practices to help you maximize your budget dollars. We provide clear, line-item pricing early in the process and actively manage costs through every phase of construction.

As an architect and general contractor, Patrick Shanahan oversees the site directly. We manage a trusted network of professional subcontractors—handling electrical, plumbing, and specialized trade work—to deliver high-quality craftsmanship from start to finish.
