West Town Residence

A contemporary 5,000 square foot single-family home on a double lot in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, the house’s interior is focused around a central atrium, which serves to connect all three floors as well as allow for plenty of light. This atrium invokes a sense of privacy and retreat from its surroundings.

A bridge on the main floor connects public spaces (living room, dining room) to more private spaces (kitchen, breakfast area, and bedrooms).

By angling the kitchen and master bedroom, full advantage is taken of the house’s dramatic views of the city.
