Located on Wicker Park in Chicago, this building was originally built as a single family in 1885. While the exterior of the house could be saved, this Italianate home suffered numerous interior alterations over the past 100 years which required a complete interior gut.
The new owners, a young couple with children, wished to reunite the home’s original grandeur as a single family house while introducing modern elements to its interiors and additions.
The façade was brought back to its original appearance with a newly rebuilt entry staircase, extensive cornice metalwork repair, tuckpointing and cleaning. The gate and fence were restored to original.
Upon entry into the home, the new interiors unfold onto a wide open floor plan that extends the length of the home delivering natural light throughout. Contrasting the white interiors are white oak accent panels and built-ins and exposed original common brick walls.
In the rear of the property, the old garage was rebuilt to include a second story gym clad in common brick used from the original house. Connecting the house to the garage and gym is a new two-story, glass clad corridor with a glass floor. These elements create a hidden interior courtyard with a reflecting pool that can be viewed from various rooms in the home.
