We did a full restoration of this House Theater which seats 75. The performance stage, built 75 years ago has now been fitted with a full state of the art media system with projection screen and sound system. All the theater chairs were restored using the original art deco detailing with new cusions and back rests. Hopefully we will have better photographs of the finished project soon.

Unfortunately the exterior does not give credit to the interior environment which is actually a very nice architecture studio.

The scale of this building was very well considered.
The stone detailing was simple and well executed.

This building turned out very well.
and was the basis for a later building in Madison.
This one turned out much nicer.
Francis Street - Madison, Wisconsin

The design of this building was based on a building I had done 2-3 years earlier which turned out much better. I believe that money was tighter with the construction of this building, which serves as Dormitory Housing for UW Students.

4 Unit Condominium.
Attached Parking for 4 Cars.

This is a good looking building in Downtown Lombard. NO, we did not design it.
But we did design two retail storefront spaces on the ground floor. The construction of the project is complete, but for some reason the commercial spaces have not yet opened to the public.
We have been talking to the client to see if
we can assist him in opening, hopefully SOON.
