The Morse Theatre - Rogers Park, Chicago

 

Construction is well underway on the renovation/restoration of this historic 1912 building. When it is finished, the building will house a 300-seat music venue (The Morse) and an old Chicago style tavern/restaurant (The Century Public House). The theatre's facade will be completely restored and adorned with a retro 1930's style marquee. The interior of the auditorium is designed in an Art Deco/Moderne style. GPD is also concentrating on Silver Level LEED Green Certification using green/sustainable products, such as a green roof, environmentally friendly building materials, and the basic recycling of an existing building adjacent to an El station.

Swedish American Museum - Andersonville, Chicago

                                                                                                

GPD and the Swedish American Museum's plan is to pair restoration with contemporary design, creating a unique architectural entrance and facade for this historic 1905 building. The building will also receive a facade restoration, energy efficient storefront, airlock system, glass checkered transoms, new signage and lighting, and

decorative custom tile work.

Lakefront Condo - Edgewater, Chicago

  

In this 450 square foot studio condominium we are maximizing space with a strategic layout including an innovative sliding glass wall to create a convertible bedroom. The goal is to create plenty of storage without infringing too much on the small condo's livable space. Attractive and functional, we have designed this space with a modern sensibility.

 

A view to the kitchen from the main living space shows how the sliding doors create a beautiful and functional division of space.

The bathroom features floor to ceiling glass mosaic tile and vibrant vinyl wallcovering

 

 

Family Cottage - Empire, Michigan

 

We are transforming a quaint summer cottage from a small 2 bed, 1 bath layout, to a very comfortable 4 bed, 2 bath vacation home. Construction is underway, as seen in the photos below. When it is finished, the home will feature 14 antique stained glass windows, and a spacious interior designed to be the perfect summer getaway!
