Design Studio C, Ltd. was founded in 1998 to offer professional architectural services that cater to entrepreneurial clients.
We specialize in detailed adaptive reuse of commercial projects, complicated homes on small infill lots, as well as intricate home remodelings throughout the collar counties around Chicago, Illinois as well as south-eastern Wisconsin.
What makes us different is our secret sauce. Our sauce is my partnership with my wife, Irene. I have worked with her 24/7 since we opened in 1998. Irene is the energy guru, LEED AP, and code maven. I am the chief bottle-washer and plate spinner. You try 18 plus years working with your spouse EVERY DAY. If we can make that work, any type of project you throw at us will be easy.
