Potomac House II, Chicago, IL
Completed Fall 2013
Built around a sunken gathering space, this Wicker Park home delivers an indoor-outdoor living environment on a densely urban site. The concrete floors on the first level are complemented and warmed by the walnut kitchen and sunken living space. The vibrant seating of the 'conversation pit' helps to enliven the house with just the right amount of color. Lowering the gathering space between the kitchen and the dining room provided a visual connection from front to back as it pulls family and guests out of the usual gathering space of the kitchen to a more central location.
Carried throughout the second level, the walnut floors and cabinetry maintain a clean aesthetic while the pine ceiling treatment provides a visual and physical break in the typical all white ceiling plain.
