- PROJECT TITLENew East Side, № 475
- PROJECT LOCATIONMillennium Park, Chicago, IL
- PROJECT SERVICESCustom Millwork, Furnishings + Accessories, Interior Architecture, Kitchen + Bath Design
Every interior partition wall was removed from the first floor of this home near Millennium Park to create an open plan for entertaining of the grandest scale. The limestone fireplace was added to provide a focal point and define the living space from the ample dining room and kitchen. A soft neutral palette was laid with rich textures including satin wool and mohair, woven wallcoverings, honed marble, and dark walnut wood. What started as a chopped up, white walled space straight from the developer, ended as a luxurious and elegant approach to urban living.
Richly hued grasscloth adds texture to the foyer walls with limestone tile punctuated with bronze metal inlays. The bespoke ottomans feature carved wood bases and sepia tone mohair.
Lending to the timeless aesthetic of the kitchen, classic white cabinetry is balanced with dark walnut and polished nickel accents. Italian white marble in a leathered texture tops the custom cabinetry, keeping the space feeling bright and adding to sense with a feeling one cannot help but want to touch and feel.
