This project resides in River West atop a converted warehouse. It's a double-height space, which soars to roughly 20'. The program consists of: bench/storage, fireplace, flue, mantle, guardrail partitions, & handrail. Our encompassing idea was to link the three spaces; living room, study, & stairway; thus creating greater cohesion. This also allows for the two floors to communicate. The clients have a love of warm, rich materials, in addition to eco-friendly options. We incorporated an aluminum toekick, cherry cabinetry, quartzite bench, recycled steel fireplace surround, eco-resin flue/guardrail panels, aluminum tube handrail, perforated metal mantle, and a plasma dual-fuel fireplace insert. The fireplace composition was envisioned & erected as a building w/ in a building. There is a base for seating, a functional '2nd floor', and shimmering panels above that echo the skyline, seen to the east. The mantle also reaches out like a pedestrian bridge, adding functional space for artwork, and also connecting the other parts of the project. The perforated metal mantle, stretches to a new angular framed platform. This becomes the stage for the translucent guardrail panels above. Shimmering light permeates from above via a large skylight. Finally, the undulating handrail in the stairway pulls the project together.
