The projects we take on.

Client homes stay private. The rooms shown here are design studies of the work we do, each described by its conditions rather than its owner.

What kinds of projects
does OneTen take on?

New construction, major renovation, existing-system takeover, private cinemas and media rooms, outdoor living, and selected commercial rooms, across Chicago's western suburbs.

Different homes. One standard.

  • 01

    New construction

    Infrastructure, lighting, network, control, and trade coordination from the first drawings.

  • 02

    Major renovation

    New capability worked into the constraints and character of an existing home.

  • 03

    Inherited system

    An undocumented or unreliable installation made understandable, then rebuilt where it needs to be.

  • 04

    Private cinema

    Picture, sound, light, acoustics, seating, and control resolved as one room.

  • 05

    Outdoor living

    Network, audio, television, lighting, and control carried outside.

  • 06

    Restaurants, bars, and offices

    Zoned sound and screens that hold up through a full service, and meeting rooms that start on time.

Rooms first. The technology serves them.
