An apartment for collectors with a panoramic view, how will it be?

An entire double-height floor in a skyscraper located in the city of Chicago.

Space and Requests 

Among the house projects curated by the Wheeler Kearns Architects studio, there is this penthouse in a Chicago skyscraper with breathtaking views of the city. The owners' brief was to enjoy a space full of comfort and simple elegance.

The double-height space with a panoramic view of every corner of the city faces south. The owners, collectors, wanted to have the right space for their furniture, sculptures, and art pieces.

Architects and client

The project was an intense collaboration between architects and clients. Among the most decisive design decisions were the choice of walnut flooring, the inclusion of artworks on the perimeter walls, and the use of perforated metal or fabric for acoustic absorption.
