This Chicago luxury kitchen remodel was designed around scale, function, and architectural clarity. The oversized quartz waterfall island serves as the centerpiece of the space, creating both a strong visual anchor and a highly functional surface for cooking, gathering, and everyday living. Surrounding the island, full-height custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, premium stainless steel finishes, and a statement metal ceiling detail bring structure and sophistication to the kitchen. The layout was carefully planned to support natural movement between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces while maintaining clean lines and open flow. Exposed wood beams and layered material contrasts add warmth and depth, creating a balance between modern refinement and livable comfort. This project reflects a design-build approach where every detail is coordinated early to ensure lasting quality and seamless execution.

The homeowners were ready to renovate this basement to add more living space for the entire family. Before, the basement was used as a playroom, guest room and dark laundry room! In order to give the illusion of higher ceilings, the acoustical ceiling tiles were removed and everything was painted white. The renovated space is now used not only as extra living space, but also a room to entertain in. Photo Credit: Natan Shar of BHAMTOURS
