Renovations

Sam Marts has been designing Chicago Renovations for decades. We are particularly good at maximizing the potential of a given structure so that new lifestyles can be accommodated in 19th/20th century buildings.

Hermitage Cottage Renovation: Window pass through Hermitage Cottage
This is a brick cottage with a frame addition and then a brick addition. The two additions had been a separate apartment. This project combined the entire house into one unit.

Green and Historic: Design elevation Green and Historic
This house won a 2012 Chicago Landmark award for best residential design. Located in Ukrainian village this house started as a single family house. The widow converted it to a two-flat and when our clients found the house it was five apartments. We reimagined the structure into three apartments. The basement was lowered to create two duplex units. The clients wanted to add several green features including three geothermal heating units.

Urban Loft: Living room Urban Loft
This loft has windows along one side, so a translucent wall was designed to frame the dining table, and the kitchen was lifted up on a stage to look over the top of the living spaces.

Mid-Century Split Level: Family room Mid-Century Split Level

Cottage Kitchen: Kitchen sketch Cottage Kitchen

This large window-wall was designed by Sam Marts Architects & Planners for the renovation of a storefront (former bakery) into a home. This window is located on axis with the dining table, providing a view into a fully realized, “naturalistic” stream-bed through a new garden.

This is an example of extraordinary timber joinery. The timbers are fitted in a seemingly impossible decorative fashion. Used here to frame a “log cabin”, but more likely a “log palace”.
