HIGHRISE LUXURY
A raw highrise space was transformed into an elegant and open light filled apartment that celebrates its views. A tightly controlled entry sequence was devised to introduce the vistas that capture the downtown and the lake.
The entry leads through the foyer to a custom designed glistening jewel box – the bar. A custom milled screen wall serves as the spine to the apartment. Composed of vertical wood pickets, the wall speaks of the details important to the design.
Influenced by a desire to eliminate a feeling of being ‘boxed in’ by rooms, the plan allows one to experience 270 degree views around the perimeter.
