In Lake Zurich

Homes in Lake Zurich

Lake Zurich homeowners live in 1970s and 1980s two-story homes in subdivisions like Old Mill Grove, often with primary bathrooms split into two small rooms. Many 1990s and 2000s homes in developments such as Wynstone feature kitchens with closed-off layouts, separate from living areas. We often provide Bathroom Design to combine those smaller spaces into one cohesive room. For homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, our Kitchen Design service updates layouts and finishes.

What homeowners in Lake Zurich ask for

Homeowners in Lake Zurich often seek Kitchen Design to update 1990s and 2000s kitchens with outdated finishes and layouts. Many 1970s and 1980s homes in the area benefit from Full-Home Design to address entire floor plans. We also frequently provide Bathroom Design to reconfigure primary bathrooms in homes from the 1970s and 1980s that have separated toilet and shower areas.

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.
