Prime Time Restaurant & Bar is a newly constructed restaurant design bar which comes from the chain of Les Brothers family restaurants in the Chicagoland area. The newly constructed restaurant became one of the first of many to incorporate a sports bar like atmosphere with a separate area to host large party gatherings as well as an outdoor patio dining. Even with the newly additive amenities the restaurant is still coupled with the old traditions of the Les Brothers family restaurant to still serve the many families in the community and around the Chicagoland area.
Castelan newly built residence was designed on an empty property. The residence design was established by the clients detailed liking which did not over power by the amount of square footage the client was seeking. The front facade is deceiving to the eye on the size to the interior of the house. Each space was not left or designed untouched as part of the attic spaces either became storage and or bedroom, bathroom spaces. The designed new residence was also able to fit a two car garage of which was pushed back and angled due to the constraints of the property width.
