The Lakefront Pied-à-Terre

Home Highlights

  • A city residence in an historic 1920s co-op building with a beloved Lake Shore Drive address.

    + Inspired by the early 20th-century apartments of New York City’s Upper East Side, we designed the perfect pied-à-terre for work weeks spent in the city.

More than welcome

From the moment you exit the elevator, you realize that this little space packs a bold punch with saturated colors, layers of treasured heirlooms and dramatic contemporary art pieces.

RAY OF LIGHT

“Chicago is so grey for 6 months of every year. We wanted this home to be the visual antidote to our city’s long winters and chilly springs.” – James and Tom

  • Gold-foil ceiling lends a richness to cool, saturated colors
  • Floral wallpaper by The House of Scalamandré
  • Hand-stenciled wood floors create a sense of history

THE STAGE IS SET

The view from the dining room windows was more city than scape, so a custom banquette became the focal point of this garden-inspired formal dining room.

  • Walls treated to a treillage effect, setting the tone for garden inspiration
  • Drapery frames the table with a stage-like sensibility
  • James Thomas custom-designed banquette created by Barron Custom Furniture, Inc.
  • Dining Room chairs upholstered in Schumacher fabric
