Bucktown Retreat, Chicago, IL

Completed Fall 2012

Consultants:  Structural Engineer – Louis Shell Structures

This backyard sanctuary was derived from the client's wish to add living space and a garage to their home without losing the quiet retreat of the back yard.  The project extends the existing kitchen into a family room that ascends to an outdoor deck and living space. Modern forms are articulated in a palette of weathering Accoya wood, steel, and lush plantings. The continuous enclosure and built-in seating provides flexible use and privacy for the family on a tight urban lot.
