Private Residence, Chicago

Interior Design
This residence comprises 10,500 sf over one and half floors atop a commercial building. The residence serves as an urban pied-à-terre for a couple from Indiana.  There are 5 guest rooms, a master suite, an attached but separate suite for caretakers, 7 bathrooms, 3 powder rooms, one full kitchen, one catering kitchen/ pantry, a kitchenette, bar, sweeping terraces and more.  The space was designed to feel comfortable and intimate, while also being a relevant space and backdrop for large fetes for both friends and charities.
Main Living space looking out to terrace with custom water feature.
A wall of Zebrano wood panelling, a sculptural stair covered in hand trowelled venetian plaster, limestone slab flooring and 20' high sheer draperies add warmth and drama without competing unnecessarily with the surrounding urban views.
 
The formal dining room 
Located in a double height space, crystal chandeliers, a custom fireplace, and soft sheers with sutble metallic threads create an intimate setting for parties of 12.
Bar
The bar is tucked around the side of the main living space. A curved enclosure covered in venetian plaster houses the private elevator (which is custom fit with zebrano wood and custom call buttons).
