Our design team understands that what’s on the interior of your project is as important to your success as what’s on the exterior. By listening intently to your goals, values and objectives, we gain an understanding of your culture and your unique needs. We then research, plan, design and deliver an interior space that reflects your image and core values—an interior environment that is first-class, energy-efficient, cost-effective, comfortable and productive.

To create an inviting, peaceful environment for this multiple specialty medical center, we complemented the prairie influenced architecture with natural, locally quarried stone, two complementary wood tones, warm tonal wall colors and layered texture. Prairie-style influenced furnishings throughout the space are treated with rich fabrics and finishes, and custom commissioned artwork from local artists evokes a familiar, residential aesthetic.

The building’s museum quality functioning display of the natural habitat in the Rock River Valley region, became the driving force in the development of the interior finish palette. Porcelain tiles resembling natural slate became a dominant floor finish, light wood tones were used for architectural finishes and furnishings, an exposed wood ceiling complements the burnished block walls, and deep, rich paint colors punctuate areas throughout the space.

The goal of this renovation was to provide a contemporary upgrade to the outdated main lobby space while maintaining the feel of the architectural design. The existing stone wall panels were reused as column wraps and became a key element in the palette of materials. The addition of new wood and etched glass panels, a custom reception desk and modern classic furnishings creates a modernized entry to the adjacent executive offices.

Ameren Cilco’s objective was to provide a welcoming, professional environment that showcased the space and corporate branding. Incorporating a mix of metals, cherry woods, light and dark colors, recognizable geometrics, and transitional furnishings and fabrics, a high-tech yet timeless look was achieved. New lighting and a coved detail created a sense of spaciousness and a beautiful reception desk provides a warm greeting to all.

We worked closely with Klaas Financial and our architectural team to create this new 7,200 sf corporate headquarters. The result is this sophisticated and tranquil space featuring a grand barrel vaulted entrance lobby with an all glass street side façade. Warm wood tones, natural stone, rich fabrics and restful paint colors harmonize to create a well appointed executive suite and an inviting staff workspace.

The unique challenge in developing the interior design for this space was to merge the existing building and its finishes, with the new contemporary addition, blending the two aesthetics to create a cohesive facility. We took a cue from the existing color palette consisting of orange, brown, ivory and dark brown woods, and updated it by introducing rich black, ochre, warm caramel wood tones and crisp satin anodized aluminums in both the interior finishes and the furnishings.

We created a new space and updated the interior design for the Colonial Café and Ice Cream Store. Colonial Café enjoys a long and loyal customer relationship. Our challenge: Create a fresh identity without veering too far from the familiar. This 5,000 SF space features glass, stainless steel, rich colors, and their signature ice cream fountain island – along with a modern twist on the famous Colonial Cow.

To transform this home/office space into a café/bakery, we removed the front half of the second floor and replaced it with a wood-wrapped structural grid to open the space and create a new loft with seating. A large raised clerestory and oversized glass doors were added for an outdoor dining patio. Existing brick walls were exposed and complemented with warm tones, rich wood floors, contemporary lighting and a traditional boulangerie counter.

Two guiding principles were set forth by Danfoss: to recognize the corporation’s Danish roots within the interior design scheme, and to appeal to the Midwestern aesthetic of the location. We achieved this by using use light warm woodtones throughout this 229,000 sf facility, natural stone flooring, full walls of bold accent colors, extensive daylighting strategies and layered color and texture in lieu of pattern in the interior finish materials and furnishings.

The objective of the expansion and refurbishment was to create a space that reflected the union member’s loyalty and presence within the community. Deep slate grays and blues with soft terra cotta tones and neutrals blend beautifully with the richness and tradition of cherry wood and brick. Brushed metals created a refined and welcoming aesthetic. The intricately designed IBEW logo in the main vestibule with its vibrantly colored terrazzo tile highlights the design. AIA/NI Merit Award.
