This ultra-modern home, currently under construction in the Chicago western suburbs, is unique in every aspect from design to construction. Every corner of this house is built like a sculpture with its own distinct character.
This home is only an extension of the natural surroundings, featuring many mature trees, found on this 2 1/2 acre lot. You may stand in any common area within the structure and have a long view of the entire property. This translates into indoor living that feels like outdoor dwelling. The towering interior and exterior masonry walls are extended as high as 30 to 40 feet. Aluminum curtain wall and window systems follow the same path as the masonry walls.
Various interior and exterior features provide changing environments that adjust to the hour of day. Structural work is a composite of steel and wood members with a steel and wood ceiling and roof-open web trusses for long span and uninterrupted floor space. The foundation is comprised of reinforced concrete with horizontal and vertical reinforcements atypical of residential construction.
Ultra-modern cabinetry imported from Italy adds to the features of this home. Other interior finish work such as wood flooring, metal stairs and railings, and special lighting effects create a comfortable and soft environment. |
