Custom Detached Garage and Shop Design

The following is a garage project addition I was contracted to work on in the fall of 2008.
The design/build went as follows:
  • I meet with the client (in this case, over the phone and via email with photos), and we discuss their vision for what they would like to accomplish in the new garage.
  • Based on their ideas, I derive an estimate for the design project. This includes conceptual designs and detailed construction documents for permits and for the contractors to build the project.
  • Once we agree on design concept, I create the construction documents.
  • Once construction documents are ready, the client submits for their permit, finds their contractor, and work begins.
My Design Proposal:
After some time and discussion in design, a concept has been agreed upon.
The cars are my added extra - no charge to the client.
This is a rendering that I presented to the client to show what their garage could look like. (click on the images to view in full screen)











The finished project:
Note the similarities from my proposal to the final project.

Interior Design Projects

Following is a selection of interior living space renderings.
These are all interior remodeling projects that I have worked on.




A custom basement bar. Note the Chicago Bar Rail.








A Family Room & Rec Area.
An open floor plan with ceiling treatments to define the spaces.





A view of the same family room from the other side.






A Game Room.
Wainscot, coffer ceilings, and crown molding define this space.
(Note the floor tile change into the family room)






A fully furnished Basement Family Room.








Another fully furnished Basement Family Room. Note the use of ceiling treatments and columns to hide the structural steel.

Living Large: New Home Plan Design

Here is a new house design I just worked on.

This house is 3856 square feet of living space. Included in that space are 4 bedrooms (or one guest suite), 3 1/2 baths, a study, formal dining room, living room, family room, kitchen with butlers & walk in pantries and a breakfast area, 2 fireplaces, a large covered lanai, and lots of storage space.
