We’re so thrilled to have won the 2016 ICAA Award for Excellence in Interior Design for our Lakeview Residence, a pre-war lakefront building designed by the esteemed architect Howard Van Doren Shaw. Suzanne Lovell Inc. and team honored and invigorated the significant and classical architectural details throughout, and specified an impressive and important collection of Art Deco and Modern furniture in close partnership with sophisticated Clients.

The Jury Remarked:

Seamless blend of interior architecture, art and furnishings. A mature and confident approach to balancing existing with an understanding towards the new. Nuanced and sophisticated.

A beautiful and respectful renewal and re-establishment of an architectural interior that is at times background to the owner’s collection and at others assertive in distancing itself from conventional interior types.

Interior designer connected the dots between the art and original architecture with knowledge and sensitive detailing. This was a merger that could easily have gone awry but was handled with great care and concern for the owner’s collection. Beautiful project that looks and feels like Chicago.

A sincere thank you to The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art!
