Over the next few months we will be working hard with Chef Matthew Eversman to create a space as characteristic as his food.

The existing classrooms were reorganized to maximize use of space, and new lighting and finishes were added. Interactive smart boards, advanced data wiring, storage, and personal cubbies for the children were added or improved.
A reading loft, with peek-a-boo windows, was added along the window wall of the kindergarten.
Teaching centers with adequate storage were added around the perimeter of the group area for each kindergarten room. Primary colors added visual interest to the project centers.

The rear courtyard reconstruction has provided tenants with an intimate gathering space, private balconies, and opportunity to share their creative greenery.
Site plan of the Hinman-Kedzie Condominium in Evanston. The rear courtyard is unique in that it is enclosed by the main building and detached garage. The balconies overlook a grassed area surrounded by brick pavers.

The Dryden Mansion and its Carriage House are a local landmark in Evanston, Illinois. The Georgian Revival structures, designed by the prominent Chicago architect George Washington Maher, were originally constructed in 1916 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the US Department of the Interior in 1970.
After serving as a residence for 35 years, the property was sold and converted to a local school district’s administrative building. In 2000, the property was purchased at auction by a local developer with the intent to rehabilitate the existing structures and return the property to residential use.
Our role included full planning and design services for the 2.3 acre site, rehabilitation of the existing structures, and design of seven new single and attached family homes.
Family heritage abounds in this design for a farmhouse in western North Dakota.
The house, beginning with the original family homestead house, has been added to and remodeled multiple times over the last 80 years. The original small homestead house (approximately 12’ x 16’) is now hard to discern, but it’s spirit is very evident.
A third generation family member, in turn, is modernizing and enlarging the family home for the next generation.
