2026 Master Design Awards: Whole House $500,000 – $1 Million — Bronze

Located in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, this condo spans an entire city block with sweeping views of the skyline, river and lake. The renovation redesigned the entrance, kitchen and great room, and created a dedicated lounge and billiards room to highlight the southern skyline views. The renovation also updated the guest suite and added a new bedroom.

The building’s Spancrete construction limited the renovation, requiring careful planning and creative problem-solving to strategically locate plumbing fixtures, select lighting designs that minimized ceiling penetrations, and utilize surface-mounted or alternative installation methods where needed. The condo’s location on an upper floor of a multi-unit building created logistical challenges, requiring careful organization and detailed planning to complete the renovation.
