Unwilling to leave their neighborhood of many years to accommodate a growing family, the clients behind this sprawling urban estate opted to plant additional roots by buying up and consolidating eight planned townhomes.
Three years later, this Chicago family lives comfortably in their widespread multi-story estate, exteriorly surrounded by nearly 300 B-K Lighting fixtures. Mini DriveStar™ recessed in-grade fixtures light entryway steps and the rear yard near driveway gates, where they’re also found encircling a fire pit. Delta Star™ floodlights take their place below Japanese Maple, River Birch and Eastern Redbud trees on the complex perimeters to illuminate the outer edges of the grounds and highlight a trellis that will provide future support for the flourishing foliage. Well Stars™ adorn a planter in the side yard and the powerful HP2™ recessed in-grade takes care of the front. Paths are lit by Style L Lightsticks®, and custom fixtures supply the rear patio deck with the ambience the family prefers for nighttime entertaining.
Designed by Margaret McCurry of Tigerman McCurry Architects and coupled with seamlessly integrated lighting design provided by ARCHITECTURE & LIGHT, this enclosed metropolitan single family residence is a citified sanctuary that includes two pools, a Japanese bath, half basketball court and a wine room. It is an outstanding modern transformation in a classic Chicago neighborhood.
