Wildly Spacious — Where Veld-Inspired Decor Meets Modern Open Design : A Case Study

Whole Home Design-Build Remodeling in Glendale, WI

As one of our own North Shore communities, Glendale holds a special place for us — this is where HoneyDew calls home. With its mix of classic mid-century homes, established condo communities, and homeowners who take real pride in their properties, Glendale is full of opportunities for thoughtful, high-quality remodeling that respects the character of a space while bringing it fully up to date.

Why Design-Build in Glendale

A design-build approach means you work with one team from first sketch to final walkthrough — no handing you off between a separate designer and a separate contractor, no gaps where details get lost in translation. For a full condo remodel especially, that matters: every room touches the next, and having design and construction under one roof keeps the whole project cohesive instead of a series of disconnected updates. You’ll have a single point of contact throughout, full visibility into your project through JobTread (estimates, schedule, and communication in one place), and a team that’s genuinely invested in this community because it’s ours too.

The Project

This Glendale condo on Green Tree Rd got a true whole-home refresh built around a palette that feels as open as the space itself. The heart of it was the kitchen — closed off from the rest of the home by a wall and a couple of partial doors — which we opened into the great room, building a custom peninsula in its place and topping it with natural wood cabinetry and quartz countertops with soft, natural veining. Skylights above the kitchen flood the space with daylight, and a full-height quartz backsplash carries that same organic movement up the wall. Wood slat walls behind the TV, fluted glass accents, and natural wood LVP flooring add texture and warmth throughout, while touches of sky blue echo the openness overhead. That same open, grounded feel carried through the foyer, dining area, and bedrooms, with a rebuilt Powder Room, a refreshed walk-in closet, and a custom built-in bookshelf in the home office. The result is a condo that feels wildly spacious — wide open where it used to be closed off, warm and natural where it used to be ordinary.
