BUILT-IN in Ravenswood, Chicago
Purpose Design+Build designs and manages built-in projects in Ravenswood, Chicago. A built-in is custom millwork (bookshelves, benches, banquettes, storage) designed to fit your exact space. Purpose Design+Build designs it with you and manages fabrication and install.
Ravenswood is a quiet historic-district neighborhood of large single-family homes and bungalows on generous lots. Most homes here are large single-family homes and bungalows, built between 1900 and the 1920s, with bigger rooms, deeper lots, and intact original trim.
Built-ins here get scribed to walls that are rarely plumb and matched to your existing trim profiles, so they read original to the house. The larger rooms and deeper lots give more room for full storage walls and floor-to-ceiling built-ins than most of the North Side allows.
Built-ins are where a room stops fighting its own dimensions. We measure the exact opening, then design shelving, a window bench, a banquette, or a storage wall that fits it to the inch and matches your trim and ceiling lines. We work through proportions, door and drawer style, finish, and how it meets existing walls and baseboards. Then we fabricate and install so it looks like it was always part of the house.
