The lintel also designates the beginning of the residential section of the building expressed with cedar. Each unit has access to either a roof terrace or balcony. In addition, each residential unit as a view to the dramatic Chicago skyline. Underground parking and close proximity to the Chicago Transit system provides great amenities to the owners. -
Blackthorn Lane Residence
Best Dressed Kitchen Contest Winner ~ Make It Better
As an interior designer, this client truly collaborated to assure the success of this home. Simple, but pleasing, details are incorporated throughout to create a consistent theme from room-to-room and from inside-to-outside. The area of the kitchen was maximized by incorporating an efficient service island - between the cooking and washing stations - which doubles countertop space. This island is topped with a pleasing marble top, complimenting the remaining countertops, and enhanced by a linear hanging light fixture. A simple color palette assures that all surfaces and spaces contribute to the overall aesthetic and work to visually expand the spaces. -
