Design and Inspiration
This unique, non-traditional single-family dwelling located in Chicago’s classically hip Old Town neighborhood takes the form of a simple prism enclosed in a smooth carapace of alternating bands of dark and light gray cement panels. This optically dazzling facade is redolent with allusions, from the American flag, zebras, tattoos, bathing suits, to monochromatic Italian cathedrals and Moorish bathhouses, all calculated to connote a sense of ‘otherness’. This concept takes as its reference a 1927 project in Paris designed by the Viennese architect Adolph Loos for the exotic American dancer Josephine Baker.
The defining element of the interior is the open, oak clad staircase that starts at the first-floor main entry and rises in one fell swoop to the fourth floor, like a stairway to heaven. Slanted windows adjacent to the stair and the glass guardrails accentuate the verticality of the stair. An aluminum clad vertical element on the front is a punctuation mark that counters the horizontal bands of the façade and delineates the interior stair zone from the living spaces.
The flexible open plan of the first and second floor public spaces allows for a multitude of functions and furniture layouts. Two kitchens, one on the first floor and one on the lower level, make hosting large feasts a breeze, and even allow for kosher cooking. The window glazed two-story high front room allows natural sunlight to permeate throughout the house.
