Our wood shop built out these sturdy shelves with their arched tops, and our metal team came through with the custom library ladder. ⁠

A favorite little corner at Charis Listening Bar.⁠
⁠
Owner Alex Jandernoa wanted his Bridgeport spot to feel like a Midwest basement. Designer Shaun Sundholm of Sundholm Studio⁠ delivered. ⁠
⁠
And as the general contractor, we got to bring the vision to life. Lucky us! ⁠
⁠
P.S. We also built this custom back bar and shelving, which houses the ever-evolving record selection curated by 606 Records for Charis Listening Bar.⁠

The barber shop at Solo Salon Washington Street: we made them look good, and they make you look good. 💇
⁠
Vero fabricated the custom cabinetry and steel-and-wood shelving featured here - adding structure, durability, and warmth to the salon’s industrial palette (not to mention adding the built-in storage that is so often missing in open-concept spaces like this).⁠
⁠
A balance of grit and refinement, built to work as beautifully as it looks.

A workspace that works as hard as the doctor inside it.⁠
⁠
At Encore Concierge Medicine, every detail in Dr. Gold’s office was designed to support focus, calm, and care - and this room is no exception. Thoughtfully integrated storage keeps essentials within reach but out of sight, while warm wood tones bring a sense of ease to a highly functional environment.⁠
⁠
Because when the space is this considered, it allows the real priority - patient care - to take center stage. 🩺❤️⁠

Built for play. Engineered for chaos.

For this indoor play space at a new child care center in Chicago's Ravenswood Manor, our team got creative to make sure it's not just fun, but seriously sturdy and safe.

Jacob gives a behind-the-scenes look at the problem solving that brought it all together (and rekindled our relationship with bendy ply).

The Lakeview Low-Line, a public art installation built in a previously underutilized area under the CTA's elevated Brown line tracks. Our metalwork team fabricated and installed these display walls for use as a rotating artist display.

The Low-Line will host a farmers market every Tuesday, running June 2nd through September 29th. Produce and public art - two of our favorite things about Chicago in the summertime.

Steel support beams do some heavy lifting literally and figuratively at in West Loop. 💪

As general contractor, Vero oversaw the transformation of this 1909 building into an 11-room bed and breakfast. In the common areas, we were able to open up smaller rooms into wide open spaces thanks to the beams you see here. Leaving the beams exposed paid tribute to the building's history as a light manufacturing facility (it was a publishing house and printing operation).

A little green for the grid. 🍀📷

When we refurbished the original 1930s bar, floor and woodwork in the main room of the beloved California Clipper (last slide), we also built a brand new bar for its adjoining room (aka Lil Clip), pictured in slides 1-4.

Made of sapele wood - chosen for its durability, rich color, and sustainability compared to its endangered cousin mahogany - this new bar features arched shelving and an integrated peg letterboard drink menu.

It was designed by to complement the existing bar and look original to the space, which we think it does quite nicely.
