About this project

This glamorous Deco-era building on Chicago’s historic Gold Coast includes tall bronze and glass doors that heighten the elegance of the space. We added a pair of French Deco Poillerat wrought-iron gates, black Biedermeier cabinets from Austria and a collection of Jazz-Era photographs by Lee Friedlander. The outcome is a gracious home in which architecture, design and art are held in balance.
