Contemporary Michigan Retreat - Home Office:

One of the many standout rooms in the custom Michigan retreat is this home office. The black walls and ceiling create a dramatic, enveloping backdrop that highlights the clean lines of the black-framed sliding doors. A handmade modern hardwood desk and custom lowboy bookcases provide both function and fine craftsmanship, their warm wood tones balancing the dark architecture. A mid-century 1960s–style orange office chair and porcelain lamps introduce a modern-retro accent, adding color and personality without competing with the room’s restrained palette. More to come.

Shooting Chicago Walgrees:

We photographed this remodeled Walgreens in the city after a thoughtful expansion and reconfiguration. The store gained additional frontage through a new glass storefront, but the standout feature is the architect’s decision to leave the original exterior wall exposed behind that glass. That preserved wall creates a compelling layered composition—historic masonry and weathered textures read as an interior architectural element, adding depth and character to the bright, modern retail space.

The programmatic changes are equally striking: the basement was opened and repurposed as the primary pharmacy, the main floor now functions as general retail, and the second floor is dedicated to cosmetics. This vertical separation of functions makes circulation clear and creates distinct spatial experiences on each level. Below are some of my favorite images from the shoot that highlight the exposed exterior wall detail, the new glass façade, and the reimagined interior flow.

Chicago Medical Office:

Commercial interior design is especially important in the medical field. Patients need to feel comfortable, calm, and relaxed at every stage of care, and thoughtfully designed spaces directly support those needs. The era of cold, stark, clinical rooms is over; today’s high-end medical offices prioritize warmth, texture, and human-centered detail.

This space demonstrates that shift. Warm, rich tones replace antiseptic whites, creating an immediate sense of ease. Natural materials—wood finishes, soft leather seating, and layered textiles—add tactile comfort and visual depth. Strategic lighting softens harsh shadows and highlights architectural features, while subdued color palettes and carefully chosen art contribute to a soothing, cohesive environment.

Beyond aesthetics, good commercial interior design in healthcare considers flow and functionality: clear sightlines, intuitive wayfinding, accessible seating, and noise-reducing finishes all reduce stress for patients and staff. Thoughtful spatial planning preserves privacy and dignity, whether in exam rooms, consultation suites, or waiting areas.

A high-end medical office should feel less like a clinic and more like a restorative place. Warm materials, refined detailing, and human-centered planning not only elevate the brand of the practice but also improve patient experience and promote better outcomes. This office’s rich tones and considered finishes deliver exactly what patients need: calm, confidence, and comfort.
