This gut renovation of a 1,300 square foot residence is located in Mies van der Rohe’s historic building located on West Diversey Parkway.  The central design element is a translucent core that houses the master bathroom, dressing area and closets.  Extruded aluminum and laminated glass sliding doors penetrate the core creating the division between the private and public spaces.  The finish materials were limited to the use of carrera marble, sapelli wood veneer and stainless steel to create a harmonious and unified environment.
