Chicago Modern Residence:
This unique and dynamic modern house is situated on a challenging trapezoidal shaped lot in a dense neighborhood in Chicago. A clever yet functional palette of materials was chosen to sculpt this house into a unique form that responds to the dynamic urban environment yet capturing the essence of the family's lifestyle within. The twisted articulated forms respond to specific views and the challenging shape of the property. A massive cast in place concrete wall was used to dampen the sound of the "El Train" next door and to establish the common armature for the different structural systems. The yellow and grey fiber cement panels and curtain wall glass windows dance playfully in between the heaviness of the concrete wall mass and steel frame.
Location: Chicago, IL
