CI Design + Build

Beyond storage. A dressing room designed as an experience.

Dream home: when every day feels like a private retreat.
Thoughtful lighting, spa-like details, and spaces designed around comfort, wellness, and the way you want to live. Because true luxury is creating a home you never need to escape from.

CI Design + Build. Live Better.

A true urban sanctuary in the heart of Chicago.
The city surrounds you, while the bedroom wakes up to endless Lake Michigan views.
Calm, open, and restorative, the peak of Chicago city living.

An evening celebrating turnkey living + in-home wellness.
Together with Carrie McCormick and Lutron, we opened our doors to friends, partners, and Chicago’s real estate community to talk about a more intentional approach to home.

Because a beautiful space is only part of the equation.
We believe home should support how you live, rest, feel, and move through every day, and that wellness should be designed in from the start.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. More conversations like this to come.

Lighting is more than a finishing detail. It changes how a home feels and how you feel living in it.

In this project, Greg, our Project Manager, walks through the lighting decisions built into the design: thoughtful placement, layered illumination, and solutions designed around the way the home is actually used.
For us, this isn’t an upgrade. It’s part of the standard.

The right lighting can support circadian rhythm, sleep, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing, making it an important part of designing for longevity and a better quality of life.
Because good design should do more than look beautiful. It should support how you live, every day.

From gallery wall to living room wall. Our founder Mike Miller sat down with JC Licht and Chicago artist Carlos Rivera for the latest Design District podcast episode — talking color, framing, light, and what it takes to bring commissioned art into a home. “From Gallery to Gathering Space” is out now. Link in bio.

Not everything needs to glow
stone gone dark, wood gone warm.
A plant doing more work than the art.
Still modern. Still breathing. A house, not a museum

‘Urban Sanctuary’, from a designer’s perspective.

Elena takes us inside the thinking behind this full-home transformation: and what a truly turnkey renovation looks like when architecture, interior design, construction, furnishings, and the final details are considered as one complete vision.

The result is more than a beautiful Chicago home. It’s a more intentional way of living, shaped around wellness, comfort, longevity, and the people who live there.

One team. One vision. From concept to completion.
