We discuss your needs and goals in a 30-minute complimentary consultation.
You'll receive a detailed proposal, including inspiration photos based on what we believe you're looking for and cost estimates for the project.
If you decide to proceed with partnering with us, you'll e-sign the proposal and submit a deposit to get started—no paper, no hassle.
Our team is curious about your challenges, committed to your ROI, and driven to achieve your vision. In a 90-minute onboarding session, we’ll conduct a deep-dive exploration into your goals and dreams for your Chicago design. In-person is best, but we can also meet via video call through the HHDesigners app.
Our creative team, led by our Executive Vision Director, crafts a custom design brief that reflects the project vision, goals, timeline, scope, and budget.
Our Vision Director will walk you through the brief and explain what you can expect in detail, so there are no surprises along the way.
Through extensive industry and market research, we provide recommendations that align with the preferences and tastes of your client demographic.
We create a functional floor and furniture plan that not only maximizes the impact of your design, but also ensures a flow that perfectly serves your team, tasks, and trade.
We develop a schematic design, including the colors, styles, and materials best suited to your space.
We conduct a thorough financial review to ensure that the design elements we've chosen align with your allocated budget, and present the floor plans and schematic design for your approval.
We present beautiful 3D renderings to offer a flawless peek and real-time view of your future space.
We select the FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) that work best for your space, and provide sample materials when possible to give you a physical feel for your design.
We develop a schematic design, including the colors, styles, and materials best suited to your space.
Every product is spec'd beforehand, eliminating all guesswork regarding what material should be used or how much of it is needed. (We only spec national brands, so they are easier to get and distribute anywhere in the world.)
Receive a beautifully designed hard copy, as well as PDF and CAD drawings to share with your contractor.
From precise ID drawings to 3D renderings, from elevation and lighting plans to floor plans to fixtures, everything you need is always at your fingertips.
After the spec book is completed, we’re available to answer any questions or concerns you or your contractor have about your design. We are as thrilled as you are to see your vision come alive.
Whether it’s healthcare or hospitality or retail, we have the experience and know-how to make it happen.
Every building and structure is different. Variables, such as square footage, fixtures, materials, and your design preferences go into calculating a quote that is conscientious of both your budget and your business strategy.
We are your strategic design partners. We’re here to advise you, but more importantly, we’re here to listen. Our goal is to maximize the potential in every space while keeping your ultimate goal in mind: your ROI.
We’ll take you through the design estimate line by line, revising as needed, until we've achieved your design wants and needs with your allotted budget.
While we have worked extensively in Chicago, we have designed projects in many other states, including:
We are an international design firm dedicated to elevating the way you live and work.

If you can dream it, we can design it. We’ll take the time to delve into your story, getting to know your problems, and then get to work solving your needs, no matter what you’re building.
