In his recent column for Crain's Chicago Business , David Manilow, creator "Check, Please!" and host of "The Dining Table", described El Che as such:⁠
⁠
"Walking into the space is transformative; you leave the busy West Loop behind and enter a dark, soulful room. El Che is a special experience."⁠
⁠
Couldn't have said it better ourselves. ⁠✨
⁠
We had the honor of working with John Manion and his team on a design refresh for El Che last year, including this sexy little corner, captured beautifully by photographer Wade Hall.

Intentional design is woven into every corner of Burl, located in Evanston. Through simple, honest materials, warm textures, and functional features (like hidden storage and room dividers) we designed a space that reflects the restaurant’s dedication to local sourcing and authentic hospitality.

It's hard to believe this sexy little corner bar used to be a bank, complete with Millennial grey color palette, honey wood paneling and school bus yellow accent walls (but of course).

Now as Double Fun, the space is layered with texture, pattern and color. A balance of glamor and grittiness. They won't give you a mortgage, but they will make you a lovely cocktail.

Here are some before and afters for your viewing pleasure.

Akahoshi Ramen is known for their innovative and unexpected flavor combos. It was only fitting that we could up with some similarly unexpected pattern combos for the WC.

Memorial Day Weekend plans? If you’re spending the weekend in Michigan City (or just making the drive through) make time for a patio stop at Leeds Public House. 🍹☀️

Designed by Siren Betty and built by Vero, the 116-year-old former hospital has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, welcoming neighborhood restaurant that still honors the building’s history. Weathered wood, vintage-inspired details, layered textures, and a spacious patio create the kind of timeless atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile.

A bonus for all you road trippers: the bathrooms are cute, too. 😘

A patio day at The Hi-Lo is always a good idea.

This was once a simple one-story structure, something between a garage and a shed. We changed the pitch of the roof, added trusses, skylights, and new windows, and installed ceiling fans and a brick wood burning fireplace. New floors, many coats of paint, lots of plants and furniture loosely inspired by the set of Golden Girls help to extend The Hi-Lo's patio season well beyond the warmer months.

A peek behind the curtain into Eaves, the cocktail cafe and bistro inside the iconic Civic Opera Building in Chicago.

As part of a three-year renovation (thanks, COVID), we restored the original architectural eaves and added custom millwork, fresh flooring and wallcoverings, gilded ceilings, new light fixtures and a beautiful bar, as well as refreshing the foyer and washrooms.

Eaves occupies the former Pedersen Room, which once served as a private dining room, open only to the opera VIPs. Now this beautiful space is open to the public for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Friday, with special hours on opera days.
