Flashback to 2018:⁠
⁠
🎵 Tame Impala, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Courtney Barnett headlined Pitchfork⁠
⁠
🎥 Black Panther grossed $700.1 million domestically⁠
⁠
🎨 An art buyer purchased Banksy's Girl with Balloon for $1.4 million at Sotheby's, immediately after which a hidden remote shredder inside the frame sliced half the canvas.⁠
⁠
🥃 Good Measure opened on Chicago Avenue in River North, serving Nashville hot duck livers, PBR-steamed mussels, and fresh highballs straight from its Suntory Toki machine. The space was designed by Siren Betty Design and featured classic checkered floors, vintage art, red neon, and studded-leather barstools. And we had the pleasure of building it.⁠
⁠
Good times, not forgotten.

This steel and wood staircase that we fabricated for a private residence is giving maximum minimalism, allowing for complete light flow from the upper floors down and an unobstructed open-air aesthetic.

This is the Bear Trap, a cozy and elegant private dining space tucked just above the kitchen at Jackman & Co. in Glenview.

Guests must pass through the kitchen to get to this intimate room, instantly reminiscent of the iconic scene from "Goodfellas" when Henry Hill leads his future wife Karen through the kitchen at the Copacabana. Exciting, exclusive, exceptionally cool.⁠
⁠
From behind sumptuous velvet curtains, The Bear Trap greets its special guests with the glow of warm light reflected on rich wood tones, shelves stocked with gourmet food items as if you're dining in the perfectly curated pantry of a very discerning chef. And indeed, you are. ⁠
⁠
Vero's millwork team proudly crafted the extensive millwork that turned this small space into a chef-led, four-course food and drink pairing experience. ⁠

Why, yes, w**d love to tell you all about all the pieces we made for this retail cannabis shop! ⁠🥦💨😜

Spark'd Dispensary's display cases were a joint effort between our carpentry, metal work and design teams. Our carpenters used blackened white oak to build the tops of the cases, while our metal shop crafted their iridescent zinc nickel-plated steel legs. And our designers engineered them to be secure but also easily accessible for the dispensary staff.

Our metal shop kept it blazing with the iridescent zinc nickel-plated steel to fabricate the POS counter and hanging art piece.

These custom pieces look totally lit alongside the blood orange ductwork on the ceiling and the groovy ombre wall treatment.

(Sorry for all the puns, that's we rolll.)

We're busy at work on Espiritu, a Mexican-American restaurant and bar that will take the place of the former McCormick & Schmick's steakhouse at 1. E. Wacker Drive.

While our field carpenters and tradespeople are working on-site, our metal and millwork shops are building architectural elements to define the 10,000 square foot space. The elaborate steel support structures and millwork components pictured here will carve out the bar and tasting room.

We're proud to be working with Siren Betty Design and Via Architects on this incredible project. Stay tuned for more updates.

First glimpse at the newly installed indoor playspace we built for the new location of Tiny Giants Early Learning in Ravenswood Manor.

This adorable structure had to be sturdy enough for the big kids but smooth enough for the littles - no sharp edges on our watch! Our designers and carpenters nailed it (with a lot of help from one of our favorite materials Kerfkore).
