Loft Pied-A-Terre, Chicago

CHALLENGE To plan, design, and furnish a 900-square-foot loft to create efficient, highly functional home office space for two professionals as well as comfortable living space for entertaining their family and guests. SOLUTION *Effective space planning avoids the crowded, cluttered look often evident in loft living. *The installation of a concrete slab wall creates a welcoming foyer for guests and visitors. *Ergonomic “light” chair serves dual functions—comfortable seating, dimensional art. *Creating a fireplace in concrete slabs unifies the seating areas and offers visual relief. *Metal screening in the home office divides his and her space while creating hanging storage.
