Anfinsen Plastic Molding Break Room -

We photographed the newly redesigned offices of Anfinsen Plastic Molding in Oswego, IL — a striking renovation by the interior design team at Key Interiors. The bold use of color, expansive kitchen area, and generous dining tables create an inviting break space that elevates the everyday office experience. This is one of the boldest commercial interior design schemes we’ve seen in a professional setting; visitors and staff alike are raving about the transformation. Stay tuned — there’s much more to come.

Dalmec Industrial Manipulators by Key Interiors -

The project was completed by Key Interior Sr. Designer Jess Bustos and Technical Designer Katherine Burnor. Jess met us on site at Dalmec Corporation as she walked us through the recently completed corporate office renovation. The clean layout and purposeful planning are immediately apparent: a large central bullpen feels both spacious and comfortable, encouraging collaboration without sacrificing individual workflow.

Glass offices use privacy glass for confidential meetings while maintaining visual openness. The generous conference room functions well for client project consultations, corporate sales meetings, and board-level discussions. Material choices are restrained but thoughtful — bold accent colors paired with soft wood tones and neutral flooring create an upscale, professional atmosphere that reads warm rather than austere.

The renovation also includes a sizable, well-equipped break room that works for quick lunches, coffee breaks, or casual impromptu meetings. Staff and company founders alike praised Key Interiors for the superb execution and attention to detail. More images and a deeper look at the project to come.

Luxury Art Deco Apartment by Orren Pickell Builders:

We photographed a remarkable historic two-story apartment on Chicago’s Upper North Side for Patrick Falso of Allegro Design, renovated by Orren Pickell with interiors by Aimee Nemeckay.

The project retained the apartment’s original interior architecture while bringing its amenities and finishes fully up to date. The result is nothing short of world-class—a careful balance of preservation and contemporary luxury.

Below are a couple of teaser images from the lavish foyer entrance. The space features an elegant marble floor and a grand sweeping staircase—an impressive welcome that sets the tone for the rest of the residence.

We’ll be sharing this apartment room by room in upcoming posts. Stay tuned for more images and details.

Thom Browne - Coming Soon:

We’re excited to be working with the Thom Browne team on their newest Chicagoland boutique. Here’s a first teaser from the interior — more images coming soon.

Breiting Boutique - Chicago -

Recent shoot for Breitling Boutique Chicago. Working with the Breitling team is always a pleasure — their retail interiors thoughtfully reflect the character of the cities they serve. This boutique was remarkable: refined materials, precise detailing, and a layout that balances luxury with approachable warmth. More to come.

Understated Perfection - Kitchen Design by Janet McCann:

We just had to sneak in these few kitchen views of this Janet McCann interior — this is about as perfect as it gets. Clean lines, natural light, and thoughtful material choices come together to create a space that's both elegant and effortless. Photographed in Chicago, styled to feel timeless.

Timeless Elegance by Janet McCann:

We have so many exciting new projects in the pipeline and can’t wait to share them here. Today we’re revisiting a sensational design by Janet McCann — a shoot we photographed nearly a year ago that has since appeared in multiple publications, both online and in print. It remains one of our all-time favorites.

Janet’s work reads as elegant and timeless. Her designs are distinguished by custom, handmade, heirloom-quality furniture — a lost art in an era when many designers simply select off-the-shelf product. Every piece, down to the smallest sculpture, is one-of-a-kind. That attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship mark her as a true artist among designers.

Over the next several posts we’ll showcase a few rooms from this project and highlight aspects of Janet’s approach. We’re also looking forward to covering her new projects soon. More to come.

Bespoke Kitchen Remodel by Geno Benvenuti :

We met architect Rod Kelly and interior designer Susan Purkey on-site as they walked us through this extensive kitchen remodel. The team at Benvenuti & Stein are masters at reimagining spaces. When you step into the completed kitchen, you find yourself asking, “Why didn’t the architect do this in the first place?”

Benvenuti handcrafts all their millwork and builds custom cabinetry by hand from scratch in their own production facility. Before installation, every piece is assembled and checked to ensure a perfect fit. In my 30 years of photographing high-end homes, I’ve rarely seen work of this caliber. Geno Benvenuti often says each project becomes a labor of love — and you feel it the moment you open a drawer or glide your hand across the fine finishes.

Below are some favorites from this project: clean lines, meticulous joinery, tactile hardware, and superlative finishes.

Key Interiors Office Breakroom:

As architectural photographers we sometimes photograph simple spaces.  The key is to make the simple spaces look amazing, to capture what the builder, architect and interior design visioned.  I believe this one simple image is a demonstration of doing  just that.  This commercial break room by Key Interiors is beautifully designed.  Form follow function.  It’s extremely well executed and is certainly a pleasant space for a break from the office, to prepare a quick snack, grab a coffee or have an informal meeting.  Debby Hill heads up the design department at Key, and her team may just be the finest commercial interior designers in the business.  Oh, and I love the ‘pop’ of color that the counter stools deliver.  More to come!

Nate Kipnis Architecture - Mid-Century Modern:

Catching up on displaying some images from a shoot last year with architect Nate Kipnis.  The home’s  mid-century modern architecture would not be out of place in Palm Springs, yet here it is tucked neatly into a mature Northern Illinois subdivision.  The execution is flawless.

Chicago Contemporary Kitchen by JMD -

Couldn’t help revisiting images from this contemporary Chicago condo by JMD Builders. The entire apartment reads like a gallery—fine art balanced with custom-built furniture, each piece curated into the architecture. High-gloss kitchen cabinetry frames glorious slabs of marble; the island’s waterfall edge, carved from matching stone, turns a utilitarian centerpiece into a sculptural statement. Light and materiality play together throughout the space, elevating everyday surfaces into moments of artistic reflection. This condo was truly something special—one of our all-time favorites.

Contemporary Master Suite by JMD -

We photographed this contemporary master suite for high-end builder Jerry Dardick of JMD Builders. This condo has been featured in multiple publications, our featured projects, and blog sites — a true benchmark project where no expense was spared. Every detail, down to the paint on the wall, is bespoke. JMD’s craftsmen designed and executed a one-of-a-kind space.

Some favorites of the suite:

• Custom framing the bed and integrated lighting that creates layered, ambient illumination
• Hand-selected finishes and wall treatments chosen to read beautifully in both daylight and artificial light
• Bespoke closet system with fully integrated storage and refined hardware details
• Subtle architectural details: recessed niches, flush ceilings, and perfectly proportioned sightlines that elevate the overall composition

The craftsmanship, material nuance, and spatial flow that make this master suite exceptional.
