Talented & Patient – Shelly Handman designed our home in Chicago and we've been thrilled with the results. After finding the perfect site for our vacation home in Palm Springs, the next call was to Shelly. Hopefully he would be able to accomodate our schedules along with our architect and contractor. All was a go and after two years in the making, we just moved in. We've learned it's more fun the second time around! Having already worked together the trust and confidence had been established. This let us venture out to explo... read more

My wife and I built a rather large home on Chicago's North Shore. The process would have been a daunting one except for having Handman Associates on our team along with our architects, Cohen-Hacker. Shelly Handman and Shu-Yi Tsou patiently guided us through hundreds of material, electrical and plumbing selections till we found the ideal ones for the look we were after. As the architectural selections moved into furnishings, we were again overwhelmed at the choices. After Shelly pointed out the positives of the selected furni... read more

Great Remodeling Job by Designer Eskra – Blending the Old w – My house was originally built in 1926 and a new section was added in 1969 so when we decided to do some major renovations, we knew we had a challenge on our hands. Whoever would design the changes would have to blend the old with the new and work with the architect to give us the ultimate look we were seeking. Chris coordinated the architect, the carpenters, tile setters and the finishing workers for three bathrooms, the new marble floor tiles and all the “finishe... read more

A wonderful design firm and designer – I just loved working with Handman Associates and especially Chris. The entire team was wonderful. I could not be more pleased with the final look of my home, it is everything I hoped to achieve in working with a professional design studio. Chris was creative and listened when I expressed what I wanted the final interior to look like. My life has been greatly enriched by my beautiful apartment and I feel a sense of pride when people come into my home and remark on the interior design.

my house in now a home! – Getting this project accomplished was quite a feat. Chris Eskra managed the entirety of it with great style, professionalism and accuracy. Even if I was out of town, Chris took the time to make sure every detail was being done correctly - contracter, painters, furniture makers! It could not have been done without his fine eye for detail. He ofered great ideas and stayed within budget. A terrrific experience all-around thanks to Chris and the team at Handman Associates.
