Basement Remodel in Dunwoody
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 Dunwoody
Homes in Dunwoody
Dunwoody homes include 1970s and 1980s brick ranches and two-story traditional homes in neighborhoods like Dunwoody Club Forest and Kingsley. These often feature smaller, enclosed kitchens, which we address with Kitchen Design and space planning to open up living areas. Many homes in areas such as Georgetown and Wynterhall are 1990s and 2000s construction, often with primary bathrooms that are divided into separate small rooms. We provide Bathroom Design to reconfigure these layouts into more cohesive and functional spaces. We also see many homes with unfinished basements, which we transform with Basement Remodel services.
What homeowners in Dunwoody ask for
Homeowners in Dunwoody often seek to update their 1970s and 1980s kitchens, opening them up to adjacent living spaces. We frequently work on Full-Home Design projects for 1990s homes, focusing on modernizing finishes and improving flow. Bathroom Design is a common request for primary bathrooms in homes from the 1980s and 1990s, where layouts can be inefficient. We also provide Furnishing & Styling for newly renovated spaces.
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.
