Designers gave the house a wood-and-steel façade that blends traditional and industrial elements.Photography by Eric Hausman Designers gave the house a wood-and-steel façade that blends traditional and industrial elements. This home’s noteworthy steel shipping container construction material, offers a streamlined aesthetic and industrial vibe, with sustainable attributes and strength. Recycled shipping containers are fireproof, impervious to water and stronger than traditional building materials. Inside, muscular concrete walls, burnished cedar beams and custom oak cabinetry give the living spaces definition, decorative might, and storage and seating options. For more than 40 years, Fredman Design Group has been in the business of Interior Design. Throughout the years, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our clients through our client-centric approach. When creating designs, our decisions depend on the personality of our clients—their dreams and their aspirations. We manifest their lifestyle by incorporating elements of design with those of our clients to create a unique environment, down to the details of the upholstery and accessories. We love it when a home feels finished and lived in, with various layers and textures. While each of our clients and their stories has varied over the years, they’ve come to trust us with their projects—whether it’s a single room to the larger complete renovation, addition, or new construction. They value the collaborative team that is behind each project, embracing the diversity that each designer is able to bring to their project through their love of art, travel, fashion, nature, history, architecture or film—ultimately falling in love with the nurturing environments we create for them. We are grateful for the opportunity to tell each of clients’ stories through design. What story can we help you tell? Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation - 312-587-9184

Bridgeport Freeform Infinity Pool & Cabana designed by Mike Farley. This is a clean, neat, tailored diving pool with a large shallow end for activities and swimming laps. There are multiple level flagstone decks, dry stacked retaining walls, and steps to deal with the hillside. Entertainment areas were placed on the sides and the back so not to block any views of the pool or grandchildren swimming. Fire bowls anchored the Vanishing Edge spillway and framed the view of the lake. The cabana provides shelter for the large kitchen and bar area. The back wall of the pool provides additional seating due to the grade and a place to gather around the fire pit. The spa provided good access to the master bedroom and floating pads provided transition between the two terraces.

This contemporary rectangular pool design maximizes space, featuring a sleek, dark perimeter coping that contrasts beautifully with the inviting turquoise water. An expansive tanning ledge offers a dedicated sunbathing area, complete with built-in loungers for ultimate comfort. Adjacent to the main pool, an integrated raised spa clad in dark stacked stone provides a luxurious retreat. The spa is elegantly capped with light-toned coping, tying into the cohesive aesthetic of the entire project. The surrounding landscape is thoughtfully designed with lush, low-maintenance artificial turf, creating a vibrant green carpet that frames the water features. A central square fire pit, mirroring the spa's stone and coping, anchors a cozy seating area with comfortable Adirondack chairs, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. Privacy is paramount, ensured by a tall, dark-stained fence and mature trees that create a tranquil, secluded atmosphere. This project seamlessly blends modern amenities with natural beauty, offering a luxurious escape right in your backyard.
