Lakefront Retreat

A California Modern aesthetic is modified to meet the needs of Chicago’s more formal lifestyle and heartier climate in a Neo-Classical high-rise that overlooks the lake. A San Francisco family uses this spacious pied-a-terre as home base on their frequent visits. Sleek architectural amendments and contemporary furnishings in neutral palettes punctuated with pops of color – especially from artwork pays homage to Abstract Expressionism – achieve the desired decorative demeanor.
