Chicago Lake Shore Drive High Rise Remodel Video Series
Take a behind the scenes tour of the remodel of an incredible Lake Shore Drive condominium! Architect Amy Scruggs shares the step-by-step thinking behind a total redesign of a 1920s Chicago co-op and some of the challenges of remodeling in a city high-rise on the Lake Michigan.
From adding in a coffered ceiling to define a large living room, uncovering a hidden window in a bathroom, to tiling, flooring and cabinetry installation and final finishes – we hope you enjoy watching the architectural design take shape bit by bit as much as we did designing and building it.

Happy Clients
“We planned on talking to three or four different builders and we met with Simpson and then we didn’t meet with anybody else.”
~ Glenview Custom Home Design and Build
“SSDB is part of an echelon other builders are not – so much quality, so much devotion, such a distinct style and the ability to deliver. I feel exactly the way I wanted to feel in my new home. Our door is open 24/7 whenever you want to show anyone your wonderful work!”
~ Northbrook New Home Design and Build
“We greatly appreciate all of you – your talent, and the work you are doing on our house. The people make the project and you are all amazing. Next year happy hour on the porch at this time!”
~ Northbrook Eco-Conscious Design and Build
“Thank you for the thoughtful education all the way through the design and build. I daresay your standards were even higher than ours. We are so glad you were there to keep us on track, simplify everything and even bring joy into it all! This is probably unusual to say about a contractor – but we are thrilled to have taken this journey with you and to have made new friends as well as a new house.”
~ Wilmette New Home Design and Build
“I know I wrote you something after our final walk-through but seeing you here just now – offering your assistance a year and a half later – I just want to say thanks for making us feel like a priority even after our project was done. It’s the best “in” having picked you guys.”
~ Winnetka Home Renovation and Addition
