PROPERTY
penthouse condo
Located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, this two-story luxury penthouse was a blending of two different styles: his love of vintage rock and roll, along with her softer, more feminine style. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large, open spaces offered spectacular city views and provided the perfect opportunity to create drama in materiality.
As the owners are part of Chicago’s spirits industry, a ‘killer bar’ was requested, so we created a custom fluted wood wenge bar with dramatic marble countertops and aged brass accents. A few more design standouts in this open area concept allowed for a statement chandelier in the dining room, a custom bed wall made of leather panels and walnut, alabaster sconces, and a picture ledge to finish the wall perfectly. A modern penthouse customized in every way to fit our clients’ outgoing personalities and love of entertaining.
