Elements Architectural Group is a Chicago-based architecture and interior design firm founded in 2006 by Bill Scholtens. Specializing in single-family residences and boutique commercial projects, the firm is driven by a commitment to unearth and translate a client’s vision into a holistic design solution that is both beautiful and buildable, while being conscious of budget constraints. With over 400 completed projects, Elements Architectural Group brings a wealth of experience in modern and sustainable design.
At the heart of their approach is 'The Elements Way', a unique design process that harmonizes Art, Science, and Economics. By viewing design considerations through these three lenses, they ensure a balanced and comprehensive engagement with each project. Their philosophy emphasizes collaboration over dictation; every project is treated as a unique storytelling opportunity that reflects the individual needs and aspirations of their clients. This philosophy fosters deep listening and curiosity, enabling the team to craft spaces that not only serve their intended purpose but also enrich the experience of those who inhabit them.
Elements advocates for sustainable architecture, recognizing its responsibility to create structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also ecologically sound. They believe the meaning of a building extends beyond its physical form, serving as a connection to the land, community, and even to greater ideals. Each project is approached with respect and a commitment to creating places that are timeless, meaningful, and capable of positively affecting future generations.
Their portfolio encompasses a diverse range of projects, including residential designs, home remodels, restaurant interiors, and more, all reflecting a commitment to quality and sustainability. Elements Architectural Group continues to push the boundaries of design to offer innovative solutions that blend functionality and beauty, aiming to deliver spaces that are nourishing, noble, and excellently constructed.
