Art Deco Tudor Home Office:

 So what do you do with a huge walk-up attic in an Art Deco Tudor estate? Lauren Coburn turned it into a refined home office that balances form and function.

• Exposed, hand-cut trusses were painted to draw the eye upward as you enter, emphasizing the attic’s generous volume and architectural character.

• Large windows on all sides flood the space with natural light, keeping the open-plan office bright and inviting throughout the day.

• Custom built-in cabinetry organizes work and personal files while providing an extended counter for workflow and room for decorative objects, maintaining a clean, tailored look.

• A bespoke center table anchors the room, serving drinks and casual meetings. Four leather swivel lounge chairs create a relaxed yet professional atmosphere—ideal for informal client conversations or cocktails with friends.

Bespoke Dining Room: Tudor Estate:

The Dining Room in this Tudor estate is one of our favorite spaces. Above the table hangs a striking bespoke glass light fixture that illuminates the room without a single bulb or visible wire. Its form is engineered to catch and reflect light—natural and artificial—scattering warm, even illumination through the space. The result is elegant and unexpected: a lighting solution that reads as sculpture and functions purely by reflection, masterful in both design and execution.

Below are a few of our favorite images from the shoot, showcasing how the fixture shapes atmosphere, texture, and the room’s architectural details. To see more of our work or to schedule a photoshoot please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com

Timeless Home Office:

This smart, clean second-floor home office is the ideal blend of professional function and relaxed comfort. Framing the room is a soothing palette of nautical blue walls, pure white trim, and off-white carpeting that together evoke an Upper East Coast sensibility—refined, calm, and quietly confident.

Custom details anchor the space: a bespoke frameless bookstand, a tailored wall unit, and a minimalist desk create a seamless transitional interior that’s both practical and elegant. The layout accommodates multiple uses—catch up on business matters, host client meetings, or simply close the French doors after hours and settle into an Eames chair with a good book. A generous lounge area provides comfortable seating for waiting clients or guests and easily converts into an entertainment nook when desired.

Large sliding doors open onto an expansive sun deck, bringing in natural light and extending the workspace outdoors. Thoughtful proportions, timeless finishes, and understated design choices make this office suite both appealing and enduring—perfect for work, meetings, and quiet retreat.

Old Orchard Medical Health Facility:

Wrapping up the day with a recent shoot of Old Orchard Medical Health Center. The exterior received a cosmetic refresh that breathes new life into a decades‑old structure, while the interior was completely remodeled into a fresh, clean, and pleasant space. Bright, cheerful colors and thoughtful material choices make the environment especially welcoming for both visitors and patients. Some favorites from the shoot below.

Photographing Retail Spaces:

We photograph a lot of retail spaces. Case in point: this retail plaza, photographed just as construction wrapped. The exterior had been fully remodeled and the interior retail suites built to spec — a clean, finished canvas that translated well to photography.

This retail dispensary is one of many similar projects we’ve documented over the past several years. The builder ensured the space was shoot-ready the morning we arrived, which is always appreciated and makes a real difference in the final images.

A few favorites from the shoot are below. To see more of our work or to schedule a photoshoot please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com

High-Rise Guest Suite Chicago:

We photographed a high-end, high-rise condo for the architect and designer — one of several guest suites in the residence. Positioned down a hall from the main living space, this guest suite feels private and intentionally curated.

The suite includes a private bath with a custom vanity and streamlined shower. Fine artwork is displayed both in the bath corridor and within the bedroom, creating a cohesive gallery-like sequence between spaces. The bedroom features bespoke, handmade furniture designed by the architect/designer, and a custom swivel chair paired with a beautifully proportioned reading lamp — an ideal spot to unwind before turning in.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame expansive city and lake views, bathing the suite in natural light and reinforcing the high-rise’s connection to the cityscape. The overall effect is a calm, elegant guest retreat — comfortable, refined, and perfectly suited for visitors. More images from this project to follow.

International Paperboard:

We were assigned to photograph a newly remodeled conference room at International Paper Board.  What are some things you can do with paper board you ask?  Well, apparently anything, like using them for picture frames, shadow boxes, a conference table, a couch, coffee table and chairs, not to mention light fixtures.  There are thousands of users for paperboard.  Who would have thought?  Some favorites below.  To see more of our work or to schedule a photoshoot, please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com
