When a leak from the primary suite tub above damaged a portion of the existing theater room, our BDS Team was brought in to reimagine the space. The original theater room, which didn’t match the aesthetic of the rest of the home, was an opportunity to create something truly spectacular. With the space mostly fixed by the foundation on three sides, we treated it as a blank canvas, drawing inspiration from the adjacent areas to align with the home's overall style.

Our Winnetka owners had a few clear requirements:

• Seating: No less than eight seats with space for their grandkids.
• Audio-Visual: They had an existing relationship with an AV company, which determined and spec'd the AV package. We collaborated closely on the space and layout requirements to ensure everything fit perfectly.
• Sound Control: With seven enormous speakers and five subwoofers, sound attenuation was a top priority.

BDS Design Build Remodel recently received the great honor of being named the 2024 Contractor of the Year Award from NARI of Greater Chicagoland. Our team was honored to receive this award from The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) for our Northbrook Basement project. 

In almost every home, the kitchen feels like the heart of the home. It is typically full of laughter, shared meals, and cherished memories. As time goes on these much loved spaces start to show signs of wear, a testament to the years of love and life it may have seen. Our BDS team loves breathing fresh designs into these special places of our home so they can once again look beautiful, function how we need them to and continue to make more memories!

Our Libertyville homeowners found themselves in a common dilemma: their laundry room lacked functionality despite having the right space. The laundry and mudroom, crucial hubs of activity for any busy household, were simply not meeting the needs of this busy family. The BDS team was able to help transform this mudroom to better serve them while also creating a beautifully designed space.

The BDS team was given the opportunity to help create an accommodating bathroom space for our homeowner.  The current space was far from accessible, with cramped quarters and outdated fixtures that made everyday tasks a struggle. The BDS team was able to create a beautiful and functional space for our homeowner while meeting the needs that were requested. 

When our Libertyville homeowners first moved into their new home, one space stood out like a sore thumb—the primary bathroom. It was a dimly lit cavern with an outdated style that made it feel more like a forgotten closet than a place of relaxation. Our BDS team was able to transform this space with a budget friendly renovation that suited our homeowners perfectly. 

In the heart of Libertyville, our BDS team transformed this home for its homeowners. From the kitchen to the bathroom, and every space in between, the entire home underwent a top-to-bottom renovation that is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Winnetka Basement renovation was a remarkable 4 year transformation, meticulously addressing a range of issues to create a functional and inviting space for its new owners. This home was rich with history but the infrastructure of the home needed some much needed love and attention. Over the course of several years our BDS team was able to create a functional and inviting haven for its homeowners. 

When we think of home renovations, we most likely think of a full home gut job, renovations from top to the bottom, and a really expensive project. But that is not usually the case! Our BDS team loves to take home and completely renovate it from top to bottom, but sometimes the timing or the budget just don’t allow for that. A home can just need a refresh of the existing design without changing out the structure of the room. The BDS team is always happy to take on a home refresh!

20 years! It goes by in the blink of an eye when you love what you are doing. At the same time, our BDS team has worked hard over the years to learn and grow to better serve our homeowners.
