Basement Remodel in Brookhaven
Our Basement Remodel service helps you redefine your lower level. We design these spaces to be comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.
What we do
Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, followed by construction documents that include drawings and specifications. Material selections are made for all finishes and fixtures. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned, and we oversee the finishing touches.
Who it suits
This service is ideal for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits older bungalows, mid-century ranches, or newer construction seeking additional living areas. We design basements for various uses, from family rooms to guest suites.

In Brookhaven
Homes in Brookhaven
Brookhaven homeowners often live in 1950s ranch homes in areas like Ashford Park, where original kitchens are typically small and separated from living areas. Many 1970s and 1980s traditional two-story homes in communities such as Brittany have primary bathrooms with outdated layouts or finishes. We provide Kitchen Design to reconfigure these older spaces for modern living, and our Bathroom Design service updates these private areas. Newer construction, including 2000s and 2010s homes in Brookhaven Fields, may benefit from Furnishing & Styling to personalize larger open-concept spaces.
What homeowners in Brookhaven ask for
Homeowners in Brookhaven frequently engage us for Kitchen Design in their 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, often seeking to open up these spaces to adjacent living rooms. Many 1970s and 1980s homes in Brookhaven also prompt requests for Bathroom Design, addressing primary baths with small, separated wet areas. Full-Home Design projects are common for clients wanting to update finishes and layouts throughout their traditional two-story homes.
Basement Remodel work from the studio
Led by Jill Kearns from the Atlanta studio
About the studio
Two sisters, one studio
Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.
Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
