TheStudio

DESIGN STUDIO 24 was founded by Mark DiGanci on a simple principle: great design only matters if you have the discipline to build it right. We believe that true beauty isn't just a surface layer — it's found in the harmony between a striking aesthetic and a structure that actually works. The firm stays focused on the real work of architecture, valuing the hand-drawn sketch as much as advanced 3D modeling, the reality of the job site, and the steady momentum it takes to turn a beautiful vision on paper into a lasting building on the ground.

Collaboration is the engine of the firm's design process. This collective mindset is built on a shared history — part of the DESIGN STUDIO 24 team began their careers together at the esteemed Holabird & Root. That shared shorthand and high-level training allow for an open studio environment with the kind of unfiltered discussion that keeps every project on track. Most vital to this process is the input of the Clients themselves — through constant communication we deliver the ultimate result: spaces that work for the people who live and work in them.

Based in Chicago with a national reach, our versatility is intentional. Our portfolio spans retail, industrial, and food processing facilities to children's academies and custom residential builds. Supported by an in-house construction group, DESIGN STUDIO 24 operates as a singular, imaginative firm — protecting the original design intent through precise value engineering, with efficiency, purpose, and integrity. Self certified architects on staff.
