Bucktown Residence The design for this private residence places a modern and open plan, utilizing floating planes and transparency as its organizing principles, into the shell of a turn-of-the century, Italianate, retail building complete with cast-iron detailing and projecting corner oriel bay. Supporting the owner's minimalist aesthetic sensibility and expansive modern art collection, the interior intentionally contrasts with the building's humble origins, setting up a dialogue between old and new, traditional and modern. The central feature, a floating glass, steel and wood stair provides a physical and visual connection between the various levels and thru the large storefront windows, to the exterior. The architectural detailing throughout the interior, from the whiteness of the walls, to the reveal trim at doors and windows, to the single pane of glass separating the living and dining rooms, to the custom cabinetry and furniture, to the floating stair itself, reinforces the notions of transparency and tranquility which is the essence of this design.
