Architecture and Design

Established in 2001 as a multidisciplinary interior design firm with an emphasis on the renovation and restoration of hotels, public spaces and private residences, Gooch Design Studio embraces a time-honored, academic approach to design. We begin with a studied and collaborative process, incorporating client expectations with our breadth of experience, and continue with an informed layering of architecture, finishes, furniture, textiles and art. Understanding the architectural requirements of a space is the foundation of our practice – and we take seriously the balance between sound architectural detailing and thoughtful interior design. In order to create a synthesis between the architecture and the interior, we embrace the opportunity to use decoration as a complimentary means of providing architectural solutions.

Hammersley Architecture was founded in 2008. Our studio is located in the historic Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. We explore the potential of architecture through both active projects and speculative works.

J. Lawton Thies Architects Incorporated was established in 2005 to provide high quality architectural design services across a broad spectrum of style and building type.
