‘T-RESIDENCE’ GARDEN APARTMENT REMODEL CHICAGO, IL DECEMBER 2010-JUNE 2011

description

The project occupies ground level of a three story walk-up in the historical Old Town neighbourhood of Chicago. The clients, who reside on the two upper floors, required that the ground level be reconfigured so it could be flexible enough to be used as an extension of their current home, rental apartmentor guest suite. New layout offers an open, flexible living space that is organized around a central millwork element, housing a convertable bed and closet. Sliding and pivot doors, integrated into the central element, can completely separate a portion of the living area into a second bedroom. The entrance is defined with another millwork piece that houses closet and washer-drier. A window seat along the front offers space for relaxation and observation, as well as additional storage. The original stone-brick wall was left exposed, painted white and lit to further define the apartment living zone.
