Gold Coast Condo
This Gold Coast condo was a labor of love for its owners, a pair of empty nesters wanting to create an oasis for themselves amidst the urban backdrop of Chicago. The real stunner here is the gorgeous views of Lake Michigan the condo offers, which we wanted to emphasize and incorporate throughout our design work. We created a calming atmosphere of pale grays and blues that play off the water view. Custom cabinetry and built-ins add continuity to the serene space, with sleek lighting and an intricate tile backsplash adding interest. There is ample seating for family gatherings in the kitchen and dining room, where a unique chandelier mimics the cityscape seen through the windows.
