Our professional approach makes the build out run smoothly.

INTERIOR design & DETAILING

What sets the homes and businesses we design apart from the rest is the level of detail we pour into every square inch of the interior. We specify ceiling design details, moldings, material transitions, wainscot paneling, determine the use and styling of tongue and groove, and so much more. Understanding the nuances of the architecture of a home or business allows us to define these details in a way that properly accentuates the architecture and increases the value of the design.

EXTERIOR DESIGN & FINISHES

When building new or transforming old, the painstaking consideration of exterior materials and finishes can invigorate the architecture. We can provide a concept and dial in the details utilizing our comprehensive finish schedule. Builders and clients alike appreciate our concise specifications when estimating and executing the details.

FINE FURNISHINGS & LIGHTING

Our buying power allows us to provide competitive pricing with little need to shop retail. Attention to detail within our fine furnishings selections services are unmatched. Each piece of furniture shown within our portfolio was ‘made-to-order’ to our exact specifications. We supply the finest fabrics to our makers to create heirloom quality furniture and lighting. You can sit back and relax as we process and expedite each order and coordinate the final delivery and installation.

ART CONSULTATION

GBD believes art collecting to be an integral part of finishing one’s space. We use our knowledge of the art scene to enhance or begin your collection, introducing you to artists and curators across the globe. Gloria grew up in the art scene of Chicago and has spent time with countless artists from exhibits and shows. GBD’s art collecting philosophy is to drill down on what you love. Art is not about being expensive, it is about finding pieces that speak to you and are appropriately scaled to fit your space. Art consultation can be done at the end of the project or during the phases.
