Michigan Avenue Apartment

This luxury apartment designed by Grunsfeld Shafer Architects. Located off North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The renovation transformed dark and/or compartmentalized rooms into a bright, open space that maximizes the splendid views of the city and lake by removing walls separating the kitchen, dining room and living room. The dramatic views are further maximized by the creation of concealed shade pockets with integral lighting soffits above the window alcoves that enabled the elimination of the existing bulky window treatments. The continuous expanse of exterior views is also maintained in the master bedroom where a separate sleeping area, sitting area and office alcove were created.








Some of the materials used in the apartment include very dark stained white oak flooring in the entertaining areas, Lacewood cabinetry in the kitchen and lacquer finished cabinetry in the baths and office alcove.
