PROJECT

How do you take a historic 1870's home and create an addition and gut remodel, yet have everything look as if it has always been there?

INSPIRATION

The romance of New Orleans courtyards, 1870's victorian architecture, a healthy dose of color, and a splash of modernity come together to create a family home that's steeped in history yet totally fresh.

THE CLIENT

This is my personal wonderland in Chicago
