As the foundation of @carnitas_uruapanchi 's kitchen, these stainless steel cauldrons will be used on the daily to produce their one-of-a-kind pork carnitas. We've had them, and they are amazing. Interior Design by @design_agn General Contractor @phoenix_elgin

Round one of a primary bathroom renovation. This bathroom is part of a larger residential condominium renovation we are currently working on downtown Chicago. Here we are employing light, natural materials to provide a calming space to refresh and prepare for the day.

We see some crazy things in old buildings, but this one is something else all together. With demolition nearly complete, we finally see the skeleton of this Frankenstein. At some point in time (long ago), a previous owner lifted the second and third floor and inserted a commercial space with extremely tall ceilings. The structural gymnastics must have been cheaper or easier than any other more obvious option. For this project, we are partnering with @rssichicago (who will provide property management and much needed social service support for the tenants) to bring an old, worn out Single Room Occupancy building into the 21st century.

Field measure Friday. For existing building projects, we start by documenting the existing space. Without an accurate understanding of each existing space, we can’t provide our clients with necessary information, potiential issues and ultimately the best proposed design.

Weekly OAC meeting for the new @carnitas_uruapanchi location. Elevator and stair core prep. It’s always amazing to see the extent of these old buildings when they are opened up for new elements. General Contracting by @phoenix_elgin Interior Design by @design_agn
