Custom Cabin | Oct 2013 | Custom cabin design for the Snipe Lake/Eagle River Wisconsin Area. Client moving from Maine to Wisconsin to be closer to family. She is a senior and wanted something more linear and single story but with views of the lake. | $375k | Eagle River, WI | |
Custom Desk and Shelves | Sep 2013 | These pieces of furniture were made for an Intellectual Property lawyer who did work for us on some bike rack design and utility patents. She wanted furniture that echoed her career and needed special book ends that we designed to be built-in and moveable. | $27k | Chicago, IL | |
Live-Work 2-Flat | May 2013 | Contemporary live-work unit with a typical Chicago condo on the top floor and an office/gallery on ground floor. Special features include an entire storage/pantry wall, suspended fireplace and custom mural of the Chicago skyline. | $560k | Chicago, IL | |
Custom Media Console | Jan 2013 | This media console was custom designed and built by nFORMAL for a client that wanted something to match their new living room aesthetic. The conversation started with designing around the height of a tennis ball so it bounced out instead of rolling under...keeping the dog from scratching their new walnut and zebrawood cabinet. | $5k | Chicago, IL | |
Transitional Remodel | Sep 2012 | Client wanted a more transitional look for the family's new kitchen. We opened up the space and took advantage of specatcular views and a clean layout. Budget was modest and we tried to get some good "extras". | $58k | Tampa, FL | |
Hi-Rise Loft Remodel | May 2012 | Hi-rise loft remodel in Chicago with a light and airy feel. Appliances and cabinets are modern and European give a sleek and functional minimalism. Most living room furniture was design by nFORMAL. | $325k | Chicago, IL | |
Loft Remodel | Feb 2012 | Loft condo remodel behind the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. The client was a single man and wanted a more masculine material palette for kitchen and master bathroom. Bathroom vanity designed by nFORMAL. | $85k | Chicago, IL | |
Custom Concrete Counters | Nov 2011 | Budget minded newlyweds wanted some "WOW" for their kitchen, but didn't have enough money to completely remodel. They went with some new stainless steel appliances and had us design and fabricate concrete counters with very custom details like build in drain board, trivets and cutting/serving board. | $6k | Bolingbrook, IL | |
Custom Residential Bar | Aug 2011 | Initially, the client just wanted a small place for friends to sit drinks, but the idea was awkward. So, we convinced him to go big and do something to include a built-in grill (he was going to buy a freestanding one). The result is something that everyone loves using and added value to his property. | $25k | Chicago, IL |
