About Us

SWWB Ltd. is a full-service architecture firm that provides versatile solutions for institutional, educational and residential projects.  Our portfolio contains a wide range of results for new construction, rehabilitation, historic renovation and adaptive re-use with both public and private owners. Although a small firm, SWWB Ltd. has completed construction documents for projects which include:
  • Over 40 new and remodeled single-family residences with five awards from the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago and featured in eight home building publications
  • Approximately 70.1 million dollars worth of construction for the Chicago Public Schools since 1998
  • 262 new senior housing apartments
  • Nearly 4,600 apartment units in rehabbed buildings throughout the city
The two principals, Chuck Bassett, A.I.A. and Chris Bednarowicz have been licensed professionals in Illinois since 1986 and 1983. Their joint effort in design, construction document production and construction administration allows a project to be driven by experience and depth of knowledge. The dual principal approach creates a better line of communication between the owner/user that is evident in the large number of successfully completed projects for long-term recurring clients.

SWWB Ltd. is committed to the enhancement of the city neighborhood life and looks forward to participating in your project.
