Some people walk into a space with incredible bones and want to keep it light and airy. Others want it moody, layered, and a little dramatic.

This client wanted both, so we gave them two floors that feel like two completely different worlds.

Exposed brick, timber ceilings, a view of the Chicago River. We worked with every inch of it. Special finishes on the brick, layered lighting that makes the space feel alive at night, a staircase wall that actually stops you.

Moody and dark 🖤 or light and airy 🤍? Drop your preference in the comments.

We took the room from quiet-in-the-wrong-way to a place you’d actually want to spend a Sunday in. Dusty blue ceiling, soft landscape wallpaper, marble fireplace, a wing chair we’d fight you for.
