The project aims to transform the outdated, dull, or dysfunctional kitchen into a beautiful, functional space that meets client's needs and reflects their style.
The project involves a variety of tasks, including kitchen design, countertop installation, backsplash installation, lighting updates, flooring replacement, appliance upgrades, pantry organization, sink and faucet replacement, range hood installation, wall paint, cabinet hardware installation, electrical and plumbing upgrades, window treatments installation, ventilation, and the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
The kitchen renovation is efficient, effective, and meets the client's expectations. Our team of experts worked closely with clients to understand their vision, suggest suitable design options, and provide professional guidance throughout the remodeling process.
In the end, they have a beautiful, modern, and functional kitchen that enhances their quality of life and adds value to your home.

A Modern Farmhouse remodel that involved a master closet overhaul, encompassing wall adjustments and space optimization, turning a dream into reality.
In response to a client's request to revamp their closet during a comprehensive home renovation, we embraced the challenge with our five core values at the forefront. As stewards of quality, we committed to the redesign with a focus on enhancing functionality, maintaining durability, and ensuring aesthetic appeal. Amidst the client's expansive home transformation, which included the expansion of their Master Closet by removing a wall, we encountered a unique situation—losing a built-in dresser. We approached the task with flexibility, aiming not only to replace the missing storage but also to reorganize the existing space efficiently. Our commitment to client-centric solutions led us to assess the current hanging space and storage needs. By understanding the baseline functional requirements of the client, we could tailor our design to meet their specific needs effectively. Utilizing premium Cleef material, we elevated the project luxury and feel. We were able to introduce additional drawer space seamlessly, optimizing the shelving area for maximum utility. The result was a modern, premium feel. Responding to the client's desire for a contemporary touch, we integrated energy-efficient LED lighting into each bay, providing a practical solution for easy identification of clothing within the closet. In essence, our approach to this project was guided by our core values—adaptability, customer focus, quality craftsmanship, innovation, and environmental responsibility. The end result is a redesigned closet that not only meets the functional needs of the client but also embodies our commitment to excellence in every detail.

The idea for Scandinavian Hardwoods came after years of countless conversations with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders. The consistent theme: they wanted more than just a beautiful floor. They wanted insight into manufacturing locations (not just the seller or importer) and what materials are used and why. They wanted to understand the product’s environmental impact and it’s effect on indoor air quality and human health. They wanted a compelling story to tell guests about the beautiful floor they’ve chosen. At Scandinavian Hardwoods, we bring all of these elements together while making luxury more accessible.

Every design decision for this Caribbean beach residence was guided by the desire to maximize the views of the property’s breathtaking natural surroundings.
To connect the spaces and reveal the views from every vantage point, the team reconfigured the layout to create vistas, and installed window film to reduce solar heat gain. These modifications increased efficiencies, reused 90% of the interior envelope and did not impact the exterior structure of the building. In addition to providing incredible views, opening up the plan allows cross ventilation, maximizing the use of ocean breezes to cool the interior. The result is an effortless flow and maximization of space.
Throughout the interior, dark materials express the concept of respite in the shade, and emphasize the sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. Millwork crafted by local artisans from local materials establishes hierarchy – providing a clear understanding of the layout – and filters light to create privacy and drama. Screens help define the spaces and create suspense.
Varying screen opacities serve specific functions: nearly opaque screens build suspense, translucent screens provide privacy, and reflective screens – as seen in the kitchen ceiling – create mystery in the core where light and views
are challenged. Referencing the seaside location, the baseboards create a sense of being in a deep shallow. The 16” tall baseboards create a pool effect, engaging the walls with Cradle to Cradle certified Mosa tile flooring. The irregular height also conceals power and data cabling. The resulting space is a contemporary oasis that offers a high-level of comfort and functionality.

Industry: Building Design and Construction
Location: USA
The Objective
Develop a 3D model for retaining wall design plan meant to block the flood water from a nearby river
The Solution
Several elements as specified by client were incorporated to design a retaining wall and a detailed 3D model was developed.
Technology/Software Used
3Ds Max
An environmental consultant had to assess a site and provide a plan to the client for retaining wall design meant to block the flood water from a nearby river from entering the site. Some old hand drawn sketches of a retaining wall structure and a PPT with landscaping plans, was all that was provided. Improvising the basic design and preparing a well rendered 3D model, to facilitate the consultant to give final presentation of the design to the client, was the task.
Challenges
1. Client expected a design improvement based on a landscape PPT & some handmade designs developed in 2008.
2. Files were without any exact dimensions or additional inputs from the client
3. No plans, elevations and CAD files were given to support the team for further design revisions and 3D modeling
4. Client’s verbal explanations were to be used as a base to analyze and understand the requirements.
5. Numerous brainstorming sessions, repeated iterations and approvals.
6. Client was accessible only through email and conference call
Engineering Solution
Retaining the wall to stop flood water from a nearby river entering the area filling it with debris
1. Hi-Tech team deftly handled the communication, approvals and design development process.
2. Built a retaining wall to extend the useful area towards the flood plain of the river.
3. Retaining wall was designed as a 3 stepped structure with property (7 – 8 homes and a swimming pool) at the top.
4. Terraces with trees and shrubs were included. This design feature made the entire wall look like a natural retaining boulder covered with greenery.
5. Narrow walkways and stairs that led to the terrace were incorporated in the design
6. Subterranean garage under the flat ground surface of the property was also included as a part of the design
Benefits
1. In a short span of one month, the team managed to develop a fully fledged design and plan for the retention wall.
2. Vacant space was effectively utilized; the stepped wall not only stooped the flood water from entering the client’s property, but also created space for 7-8 homes.
3. The designed structure looked very much a part of the natural terrain, and in fact added to the beauty of the surround

Green Home Systems provides reliable solar power solutions to residential and commercial customers all over the country. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with Bruce D. in Jacksonville, IL to provide a 19kW solar system for his home. We were able to complete this job quickly and efficiently, delivering a high quality product at an affordable price.
At Green Home Systems, our mission is to provide our customers with the best customer service in the industry as well as unparalleled solar solutions at the most economical price. We understand that not everyone can afford large upfront costs associated with installing solar systems and we are proud to offer competitive financing options that make it easier for our customers to go solar without breaking the bank. This was certainly true for Bruce D., who took advantage of our financing options and was able to have his new solar system installed within a couple of weeks time.
Our team worked hard to ensure everything went smoothly when installing Bruce’s new system. We began by inspecting his roof to determine if it was suitable for installation and if there were any potential problems that needed addressing before beginning work. Once we determined everything was in order we then moved on to designing and installing the system itself. Our team of experienced professionals worked diligently to ensure each component was installed properly and securely so that it would be able to withstand years of exposure to the elements without issue.
We also made sure that Bruce was aware of all the financial benefits associated with having a photovoltaic system installed on his home. He was now able to take advantage of numerous tax credits available in Illinois as well as decreased utility bills due to reduced consumption from his local electricity provider. Additionally, he will be able to increase the value of his home by having a solar power system installed which will make it more attractive should he decide he wants to sell it down the line.
In conclusion, we are proud of our work with Bruce D. in Jacksonville, IL and were happy to provide him with an efficient and cost-effective way to add renewable energy sources into his home’s power grid. Our team worked diligently throughout every stage of this project from design through installation until completion and we are thrilled with the results. We look forward to continuing our work throughout Illinois providing reliable solar solutions at competitive prices so that more people can benefit from this clean source of energy!

When Leo designs a Country French house he understands how to achieve the authentic details and more inportainly how to make them happen. Leo supplied 80% of the building materials on this unbelievable French Mansion. Beleive it or not Leo himself hand painted some if the roof tiles just to get the desired effect and are you sitting down? He sprayed 70 gallons on raspberry yogurt on the rubble stone exterior to give it as he says “A Patina of Century Old Stone.” I told you to sit down.
