An unconventional and artsy bathroom we recently designed, with the intention of bringing out our client's unique personality while optimizing functionality. This is a very small bathroom, so we decided a sleek floating vanity with pull-out drawers would work best. Additional shelving and towel racks were added above the toilet, offering above the head storage that wouldn't make the space appear or feel smaller. Artistic custom European tiling and light fixtures give this bathroom the unique look we were going for - offering edgy graphics and intriguing "eyeball" style lighting. Designed by Chi Renovation & Design who serve Chicago and it's surrounding suburbs, with an emphasis on the North Side and North Shore. You'll find their work from the Loop through Lincoln Park, Skokie, Wilmette, and all of the way up to Lake Forest.

These homeowners recently purchased a home in Lafayette with the intention of brightening up their space—starting with the heart of their home, the kitchen. While the layout worked for them, the dark brown, heavy looking cabinetry did not. They asked Gayler Design Build to modify several areas of the cabinetry, including the hutch and the space over the kitchen sink. All of the perimeter cabinets were painted with Benjamin Moore White Diamond paint; the island with a beautiful contrasting Benjamin Moore Newburg Green color, creating an effective focal point. The dark granite was replaced with honed Calacatta Marble and sealed with a highly protective coating. A striking backsplash was designed using a glossy white tile in a geometric design. A new SubZero refrigerator and freezer (with new cabinet panels) and a Wolf cooktop and double ovens were added to complete the transformation. Features of this gorgeous new kitchen include satin brass finishes on the faucets and pot filler, as well as the stunning brass chandeliers over the island and nook table. Overall, a beautiful and inviting new look!

This all-electric certified Passive House sits on a 10-acre parcel in Cachagua, a rural area of Carmel Valley, California. The 2,277-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence was built next to an observatory, the initial draw for the owners who are avid star gazers. The hues of the home’s interior are intentionally neutral, focusing attention on the dramatic natural surroundings. The great room and adjacent bedroom feature pitched ceilings accented with dark wood beam trestles, lending a sense of expansiveness and elegance. Built-in cabinetry and shelving take maximum advantage of the space. Given that it is located in a Wildland—Urban Interface zone, Trex® deck and railing materials, a metal roof and special finishes were added to the exterior to decrease flammability. This helped protect the home during a 2020 wildfire. A state-of-the-art heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) is designed to prevent infiltration of smoke to the interior. Thanks to the highly efficient HRV, and the application of advanced insulation and air sealing techniques, the energy demand for space conditioning is about 90 percent less than a traditionally built structure. The remainder of the home’s energy needs are provided by a solar array. Windows were strategically placed to capitalize on the mountain and valley views as well as naturally control heat gain from the sun. The observatory, once the sole building on the property, now includes a two car garage and a cozy room for relaxing until the stars make their appearance. While the home was under construction and interior walls still uncovered, it was used to demonstrate Passive House techniques and technologies and related benefits. Click here for a virtual tour.

To create depth, we wrapped the surrounding walls in a glossy, marine blue ceramic subway tile that beautifully catches the light, contrasted by floral old-world porcelain tile accents to give more personality to the space. We used clean matte black hardware for a modern finish. Smart spatial solutions, like the recessed three-tiered shower niche and a low-profile glass enclosure, ensure the room feels open, airy, and exceptionally functional. It’s a masterclass in blending bold textures with intentional, seamless craftsmanship. Project designed by Chi Renovation, a renowned renovation firm based in Skokie. We specialize in general contracting, kitchen and bath remodeling, and design & build services. We cater to the entire Chicago area and its surrounding suburbs, with emphasis on the North Side and North Shore regions. You'll find our work from the Loop through Lincoln Park, Skokie, Evanston, Wilmette, and all the way up to Lake Forest. For more info about Chi Renovation, click here: https://www.chirenovation.com/
