At the Penthouse Level of this beautiful luxury Miami Beach building our client added 2 Bioclimatic Louver Systems over their Summer Kitchen and Spa Area. The South Side of the terrace is a freestanding system and also includes 2 MagnaTrack Solar Screens for additional shade and privacy. On the North side of the terrace we anchored our Louver system to the rear of their Spa with support columns in front. Both systems were installed directly to the terrace with hidden anchor plates. As these systems are installed on a rooftop, a bioclimatic louver system is the ideal shade structure for Florida's sub-tropical climate. During storms with heavy wind they simply open the system to allow the wind to pass through, not worrying about any potential uplift from the storm.

Our clients in Tower Lakes, IL, needed more storage and functionality from their kitchen. They were primarily focused on finding the right combination of cabinets, shelves, and drawers that fit all their cookware, flatware, and appliances. They wanted a brighter, bigger space with a natural cooking flow and plenty of storage. Soffits and crown molding needed to be removed to make the kitchen feel larger. Redesign elements included: relocating the fridge, adding a baking station and coffee bar, and placing the microwave in the kitchen island. Advance Design Studio’s Claudia Pop offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to the homeowners’ problems. Our clients wanted a unique kitchen that was not completely white, a balance of design and function. Claudia offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to Chad and Karen’s kitchen design challenges. The first thing to go was soffits. Today, most kitchens can benefit from the added height and space; removing soffits is nearly always step one. Steely gray-blue was the color of choice for a freshly unique look bringing a sophisticated-looking space to wrap around the fresh new kitchen. Cherry cabinetry in a true brown stain compliments the stormy accents with sharp contrasting white Cambria quartz top balancing out the space with a dramatic flair. “We wanted something unique and special in this space, something none of the neighbors would have,” said Claudia. The dramatic veined Cambria countertops continue upward into a backsplash behind three complimentary open shelves. These countertops provide visual texture and movement in the kitchen. The kitchen includes two larder cabinets for both the coffee bar and baking station. The kitchen is now functional and unique in design. “When we design a new kitchen space, as designers, we are always looking for ways to balance interesting design elements with practical functionality,” Claudia said. “This kitchen’s new design is not only way more functional but is stunning in a way a piece of art can catch one’s attention.” Decorative mullions with mirrored inserts sit atop dual sentinel pantries flanking the new refrigerator, while a 48″ dual fuel Wolf range replaced the island cooktop and double oven. The new microwave is cleverly hidden within the island, eliminating the cluttered counter and attention-grabbing wall of stainless steel from the previous space. The family room was completely renovated, including a beautifully functional entertainment bar with the same combination of woods and stone as the kitchen and coffee bar. Mesh inserts instead of plain glass add visual texture while revealing pristine glassware. Handcrafted built-ins surround the fireplace. The beautiful and efficient design created by designer Claudia transitioned directly to the installation team seamlessly, much like the basement project experience Chad and Karen enjoyed previously. “We definitely will and have recommended Advance Design Studio to friends who are looking to embark on a project small or large,” Karen said. “Everything that was designed and built exactly how we envisioned it, and we are really enjoying it to its full potential,” Karen said. Our award-winning design team would love to create a beautiful, functional, and spacious place for you and your family.

When approached by the client for this particular project, their primary goal was a comprehensive kitchen remodel that also involved transforming an underused closet into a hidden walk-in pantry. Recognizing the potential of this space adjacent to the kitchen, we aimed to seamlessly integrate it into the overall design, offering practical storage solutions and enhancing functionality. The addition of a walk-in pantry not only addressed the need for increased storage but also allowed us to declutter the main kitchen area. Items such as the microwave, beverage fridge, coffee maker, and various baked goods found a designated place, optimizing the kitchen's efficiency and organization.

Situated in Lancaster county overlooking Amish farms this older home had excellent bones to create a modern, industrial look. The original kitchen had traditional walnut cabinets and a rustic look. The client from San Francisco recognized the potential and hired us to come up with a design that matched their taste and coordinated with the house - modern with a little bit of industrial chic. It was important that the kitchen had counter space, storage, and seating. Space was limited we removed a wall and added a niche wall with the refrigerator. Our client requested lots of storage space to create a clear and uncluttered counter. All cooking equipment and small appliances have a place. A large pantry was created for extra storage. Full height cabinets on either side of the refrigerator provide storage and easy access to small kitchen appliances. Top hinged cabinet doors make storage easily accessible. Drawers were used for base cabinets so that items are easily within reach. Moving from the sink to the range and to the refrigerator is easy with just a few steps between each appliance - making cooking a breeze. Globe lights over the island create plenty of light for cooking, eating or working. Under-counter lighting and hidden hood lighting provide additional brightness. A long marble topped island with a waterfall edge serves as a prep station and counter for serving. The upper counter can be used for seating, standing, and serving. Using a monochromatic palette with wood accents kept the design clean and allows the eye to settle on beautiful details. The results are a functional, open modern feeling kitchen, with a beautiful backdrop of the Amishfarm outside full length windows. It is very special.

Initially reminiscent of a film set from the 1980s, this penthouse in Brickell was a maze of red marble, dropped ceilings, and dark, choppy rooms that blocked the stunning views. Despite its flaws, the space boasted incredible city and bay vistas, paired with hidden 12-foot ceilings that promised untapped potential. Partway through the planning process, the neighboring apartment became available, allowing two units to merge into a sprawling, light-filled home. The transformation focused on opening the space to create a sense of flow and connection to the breathtaking views. By reconfiguring the old, formal layout, we crafted a contemporary, expansive living area suited for a modern family. Gone were the outdated features, replaced with airy, connected rooms that celebrate the spectacular light and panoramic scenery. The result is a serene and versatile home in the sky, perfectly tailored for a couple beginning the empty nest phase, but spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings. This penthouse now functions as beautifully for two as it does for six, offering a peaceful retreat high above the bustling city below.

The poor layout of the original kitchen, and the lack of sufficient storage space, led this homeowner to finally decide to renovate. But, despite living in this house for quite a few years, our client did not realize the full potential of their space. That is, of course, until we came in. ​ We demolished some existing walls to create an open space. New walls were built, adding a custom walk-in pantry. We relocated some existing appliances and installed a new fridge, hood vent and a gorgeous Wolf stove. We completely reworked the lighting by adding ambient pot lights, decorative pendants and under-cabinet task lights. ​ The original kitchen did not have any open shelves or glass cabinets. We featured both in a gorgeous display wall, lit by channeled LED strip lights. We included a hidden walk-in pantry and a floor-to-ceiling wine rack to ensure that a celebratory bottle of cabernet sauvignon is never more than a few steps away.

The epitome of luxury living - an exquisite apartment that exudes unparalleled elegance and sophistication. This stunning residence showcases the masterful work of a visionary designer, Tamar Rand, where every element has been meticulously crafted to create an upscale haven unlike any other. Upon stepping into this grand abode, you are immediately greeted by a traditional ambiance with a modern twist. Tamar Rand has ingeniously utilized every inch of space, transforming it into a seamless blend of modern traditionalism. The entrance floor boasts a charming foyer and hallway that beckon you into the heart of the home. The kitchen, living room, and dining room converge into an open space, exuding a sense of freedom and fluidity. The dining table, an exquisite masterpiece, was born from the collaboration between a skilled carpenter and a visionary glass artist. This unique piece features a delicate balance of glass and intricate woodwork, marrying openness with the essence of traditional style. Among the living quarters are two inviting bedrooms, each meticulously designed to offer comfort and luxury. The master bedroom is accompanied by a lavish bathroom that complements the overall opulence of the apartment. The main bathroom, shared by all, showcases Tamar’s attention to detail in every aspect of the home. One of the most captivating features of this apartment lies below, in the basement, which has been transformed into a magical space. Descending the majestic staircase into the basement, you are greeted by a glamorous light fixture that dazzles like precious jewels, adding an extra touch of luxury to the space. This basement feels nothing like a typical underground area; it is a realm of wonder and imagination brought to life. By utilizing the basement's potential, Tamar has created two expansive play areas, ensuring that fun and excitement abound in every corner. A cleverly installed artificial skylight, adorned with a breathtaking Barrisol stretched ceiling, mimics the vast expanse of the sky, granting an airy and open atmosphere to this lower level. In addition to the play areas, the basement also houses a study and two additional bedrooms, each providing the utmost comfort and privacy. Tamar’s ingenuity has transformed this space into a flourishing hub of leisure and creativity. The apartment's allure lies not only in its sumptuous aesthetics but also in the thoughtfulness that went into optimizing every aspect of its design. A hidden laundry closet in the hallway perfectly exemplifies this philosophy, combining functionality and aesthetics to create an unobtrusive yet efficient space for laundry needs. This apartment is a true testament to the prowess of Tamar, whose custom furniture and meticulous eye for detail have transformed a mere shell into a work of art. This home stands as a true masterpiece, celebrating the beauty of tradition while embracing the comforts of modernity.

This home stands as a true masterpiece, celebrating the beauty of tradition while embracing the comforts of modernity.

Our clients in Tower Lakes, IL, needed more storage and functionality from their kitchen. They were primarily focused on finding the right combination of cabinets, shelves, and drawers that fit all their cookware, flatware, and appliances. They wanted a brighter, bigger space with a natural cooking flow and plenty of storage. Soffits and crown molding needed to be removed to make the kitchen feel larger. Redesign elements included: relocating the fridge, adding a baking station and coffee bar, and placing the microwave in the kitchen island. Advance Design Studio’s Claudia Pop offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to the homeowners’ problems. Our clients wanted a unique kitchen that was not completely white, a balance of design and function. Claudia offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to Chad and Karen’s kitchen design challenges. The first thing to go was soffits. Today, most kitchens can benefit from the added height and space; removing soffits is nearly always step one. Steely gray-blue was the color of choice for a freshly unique look bringing a sophisticated-looking space to wrap around the fresh new kitchen. Cherry cabinetry in a true brown stain compliments the stormy accents with sharp contrasting white Cambria quartz top balancing out the space with a dramatic flair. “We wanted something unique and special in this space, something none of the neighbors would have,” said Claudia. The dramatic veined Cambria countertops continue upward into a backsplash behind three complimentary open shelves. These countertops provide visual texture and movement in the kitchen. The kitchen includes two larder cabinets for both the coffee bar and baking station. The kitchen is now functional and unique in design. “When we design a new kitchen space, as designers, we are always looking for ways to balance interesting design elements with practical functionality,” Claudia said. “This kitchen’s new design is not only way more functional but is stunning in a way a piece of art can catch one’s attention.” Decorative mullions with mirrored inserts sit atop dual sentinel pantries flanking the new refrigerator, while a 48″ dual fuel Wolf range replaced the island cooktop and double oven. The new microwave is cleverly hidden within the island, eliminating the cluttered counter and attention-grabbing wall of stainless steel from the previous space. The family room was completely renovated, including a beautifully functional entertainment bar with the same combination of woods and stone as the kitchen and coffee bar. Mesh inserts instead of plain glass add visual texture while revealing pristine glassware. Handcrafted built-ins surround the fireplace. The beautiful and efficient design created by designer Claudia transitioned directly to the installation team seamlessly, much like the basement project experience Chad and Karen enjoyed previously. “We definitely will and have recommended Advance Design Studio to friends who are looking to embark on a project small or large,” Karen said. “Everything that was designed and built exactly how we envisioned it, and we are really enjoying it to its full potential,” Karen said. Our award-winning design team would love to create a beautiful, functional, and spacious place for you and your family. With our “Common Sense Remodeling” approach, the process of renovating your home has never been easier. Contact us today at 847-665-1711 or schedule an appointment.
