PROJECT:

Penthouse Kitchen, Bedrooms & Baths

Chicago     (see previous page)

requirement:

Create a luxurious 

Chicago penthouse 

living space for a 

CEO and his corp-

orate colleagues.

challenge: 

The apartment had

to project the cutting

edge of sophisticated

contemporary style,

but remain conserva-

tive enough in its

outlook to reflect

the corporation's identity. It needed

to incorporate a 

vibrant view of the Chicago skyline, while still providing an 

oasis of calm for weary businesspeople and executives for 

long weekends. The residents, most of them transients, would

include adults and children, so the space needed to be easy

to maintain. Within the context of a two­bedroom apartment,

there needed to be sleeping space for up to 10 people.

solution:  

The living room has 2 sofas that open up to sleepers, the guest bedroom has two twin beds, 

the master bedroom has a king size bed and sleeper sofa. The sense of high style from the living room, 

which has  is carried out throughout the apartment. The master bedroom is decorated in soothing 

jungle green color scheme, with floor-to-ceiling “portiere” curtains creating a luxurious separation 

between the bedroom and its adjacent sitting room with it's sleeper sofa for additional guests. 

The custom-designed marble-and-stone detailing in the master bathroom creates its own kind 

of bright, airy elegance, and pictures of vintage aircraft suggest the personalities of the apartment's 

well-traveled residents, while adding an extra splash of visual interest.

The guest bedroom is decorated in deep rich brown. This room is contrasting all the rest and is 

cream and white with only rich brown as an accent with contrasting off-white highlights. 

The overall look is bright, crisp and functional, while maintaining a delightful play of contrasting textures.

Top-of-the-line home entertainment system brings flat-screen entertainment to each room, all seamlessly integrated into the decor scheme. Top-of-the-line home entertainment system brings flat-screen 

entertainment to each room, all seamlessly integrated into the decor scheme. Despite the elegance 

of the setting, special care has been taken to use easy-to ­maintain fabrics and materials. 

It all adds up to a statement of casual comfort, within the context of big-city sophistication.
