Modern Bungalow Transformation in North Mayfair, Chicago

Discover how Pegasus Construction transformed a traditional bungalow in North Mayfair, Chicago, into a modern masterpiece. The homeowners sought a complete redesign to create a spacious, functional, and contemporary living space for their growing family, including a luxurious master suite and open-concept layout.

Why Did the Homeowners Decide to Remodel?

The homeowners loved their classic bungalow’s charm but needed a modern, functional space to accommodate their growing family. Located in North Mayfair, Chicago, they wanted to maximize the home’s potential by creating an open-concept design, adding additional bedrooms and bathrooms, and incorporating a luxurious master suite. Their goal was to preserve the home’s character while upgrading it for contemporary living.

What Challenges Did We Overcome During the Remodel?

One of the primary challenges was working within the limitations of the bungalow’s original structure while introducing a modern layout and features. Additionally, the attic conversion required precise planning to ensure the new master suite maximized space without compromising structural integrity. Updating outdated systems, such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, also posed logistical hurdles but was essential to modernizing the home.

How Did We Achieve the Homeowners’ Vision?

We began by stripping the house down to its core with a gut rehab, allowing us to reconfigure the entire layout into a spacious, open-concept design. To meet the family’s need for additional space, we transformed the attic into a serene master suite complete with spa-like amenities, including a soaking tub, double vanity, and modern shower. The integration of modern materials and fixtures throughout the house brought a contemporary aesthetic, while structural upgrades, such as new windows, insulation, and mechanical systems, ensured long-term comfort and efficiency. Every detail—from the kitchen’s quartz countertops to the elegant two-panel doors—was carefully chosen to reflect the homeowners’ style and needs.

How Has This Remodel Changed the Owners’ Lives?

This remodel has completely redefined how the homeowners experience their space. The open-concept layout fosters togetherness, while the luxurious master suite provides a private retreat for relaxation. The updated systems and efficient insulation have also improved the home’s functionality and energy savings, making it more comfortable for daily living.
