Our Firm

Studio 117 Architects is a dedicated residential architecture firm based in Chicago. Led by founder/architect Angel Sida Jr., we provide comprehensive design services for rehabilitations, additions, and new construction projects across the Chicagoland area. Our clients range from individual property owners to experienced real estate professionals and developers who value clear communication and expert execution.

Our Story

Our commitment to residential design is personal. Studio 117 is named for the street where our founder grew up, a nod to the importance of home and community. We are a proud Latino-owned business, representing a vital but small part of the architectural profession. This identity fuels our dedication to building lasting relationships and creating thoughtfully designed spaces for families and communities to thrive in.

Our Approach

As a small firm, our clients work directly with the principal architect from concept through completion. This ensures a streamlined process, deep collaboration, and a final design that is meticulously aligned with your goals and timeline.
