We partnered with G Chada design, and we transformed that old, tired looking home into a beautiful, updated, and very functional home. Every visitior who comes to the home floods us with compliments on what we did to it. It is stunning, and we have G Chada to thank. It's also important to note that this project had many challenges with load support in order to attain our vision, and there was a need for some tricky solutions. All of which were executed flawlessly. Gary stayed thoroutghly engaged in the entire process with us and delivered beyond expectations. **★★★★★ — keecisjoberg, May 2023** > We highly recommend Gary. He did an amazing job on our two story addition! Gary is a personable, team player who took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve and our budget. He has a creative gift that allows him to deliver both functionality and beauty. We now have windows on both floors that take in a great view from every angle. We could not have had a better experience! **★★★★★ — Steva Curtis, Sept. 2019** > Gary Chada did a wonderful job of helping us design a kitchen renovation that provided a perfect solution to our entranceway and kitchen layout issues. We maximized our floor space and our storage space, which has given me a wonderful dining room with island for entertaining. Gary measured, listened to our needs and gave us multiple options and iterations. The design cost came in below our budget! We did the project management and a majority of the construction ourselves, which we couldn't have done without the design Gary helped us create! **★★★★★ — Deanne Hapka, Sept. 2019** > We hired Gary for our laundry addition to our 2nd floor deck on our house. His ideas and drawings were great and work perfect with our old farm house. So far the addition looks like it was always part of the house. I can't wait for the work to be done. Thank you Gary for the great designs. **★★★★★ — Dean Veling, Sept. 2019** > We purchased a 1950's ranch home which was very dated. Out plan was take out some walls, move some doorways, etc. to create and open concept between the kitchen, living room and dining room. We had ideas on what we wanted, but were unsure if the layout would be possible or practical. We hired Gary to do a floor plan based on our ideas and asked for his input on the layout of the space. After viewing and measuring our home Gary shared his ideas on how he in visioned the space should be designed. He gave us options we had not even considered. We went with his plan and are very pleased we did. Gary also helped up with the lighting plan which made it so much easier when working with the electrical contractor. I would highly recommend Gary for your project! **★★★★★ — Patrick Sebranek, Oct. 2018** > We recently worked with G Chada Studios on an addition and remodel of our 1900 lake home. We could not have been happier. Gary Chada helped us through the approval process with the village, and everything turned out just as we had hoped. In fact, we have retained Gary to design the remodel of our coach house as well. We are extremely pleased with his plan. Gary is exceptionally easy to work with--and his professional fees are more than fair. **★★★★★ — Gail Petrzelka, June 2017** > Gary is an excellent architect. Working with him on various projects he listens to the clients needs and wants. He takes that information to heart and designs a vision for the client that hits their needs, wants and wishes. Love working with Gary!! **★★★★ — JM SWAN CONSTRUCTION, LLC, June 2017** > Gary did a great job of creating a design that can be built within the customer's budget and still look nice. He also did the work within a timely manner as requested. **★★★★★ — Miranda Lake, June 2017** > Gary was delightful to collaborate with, and he was an integral factor in landing a large historic renovation project on Chicago's Gold Coast. He was prompt meeting deadlines and thorough in attention to detail. I look forward to working with Gary on the next project I acquire . **★★★★★ — Sue Loomans, March 2017** > Gary Chada delivered great results for the design of our 2nd level remodel. We had thought there wasn't a way to add a bathroom and better closet space within our existing footprint. But Gary was able to create a great solution that fits the space and our style, while saving us the expense of adding a dormer. He went above and beyond to hear our needs and attend to details. I would highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Greg and Sue DeMent, March 2017** > Very satisfied with the remodel of our lake cape cod home. We were were working within four existing outside walls and basement and added a garage, four season room and nice second floor bath and bedroom area. Gary was very thorough in his calculation of weight bearing walls, and our final project gave us an impressive lake view from the moment you walked in the door. We found him very easy to deal with and mindful of our budget limits for our "retirement cottage"!! **★★★★★ — ljost298, March 2017** > We hired G Chada to redesign a 1960's ranch house for us. He turned it into an open concept family space, gave us a master suite and added a bedroom/den in the basement with a large window and walk-in closet. The celestial windows he suggested for the great room are one of our favorite aspects of our home. His pricing turned out to be just what he had estimated in the beginning, even with the many changes we made along the way. We're thrilled with our "new" older home! ## Selected projects - [On the boards - Contemporary Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/on-the-boards-contemporary-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~4719826) - Location: Waukesha, WI - Photos: 6 - Description: G Chada Design Studio is proud to share with you one of my latest designs for a contemporary kitchen remodel in a 1996 home.

We incorporated much of the existing colors and wood trim but added some grays to the pallet. Our solution was to create a fresh contemporary space without overpower… - [Door County Family Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/door-county-family-retreat-pj-vj~4667608) - Location: Sturgeon Bay, WI - Photos: 5 - Description: Comfortably nestled into its site set on the shores Green Bay along the Door Peninsula, this cozy family retreat boasts of ample views and leisurely living.

To say the least, it was simply an astonishing transformation. Just take a look at the before photos. We removed walls, added a vaulted ceiling, and increased the presence of natural light. G Chada Design Studio made this old house into a new home again. My clients recently became empty nesters and wished to downsize. With the kids gone all that extra space was no longer necessary. So they sold their large suburban home and purc… - [Urban Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-cottage-pj-vj~2277447) - Location: Mukwonago, WI - Photos: 9 - Description: This new home showcases a wealth of sensible eclectic flair.
