Traditional Residence
Suburban Chicago, IllinoisPhotography by Tony Soluri
A family sought a home that blended traditional elegance with a relaxed family atmosphere. We worked with them to design a home to be thoroughly lived in, with the interiors inspired by their traditional taste.
Traditional architectural details are found throughout in the millwork, fireplaces, molding and coffered ceilings, each adding depth and sophistication to the home. A neutral palette of materials and finishes serve as a backdrop, with organic and warm colors woven in with furnishings and draperies.
We created a light-filled plan that takes advantage of expansive wooded views outside. The traditional layout included distinct living spaces, including a great room for large gatherings, a den and game room for casual family time and a dining area designed for more formal entertaining. Each room is filled with a curated selection of materials and furnishings with refined silhouettes to complement and reflect the design, form and function of each room. The furniture is made of rich woods with ornate detailing, punctuated with beautiful textiles. The warm and inviting spaces overflow with a sophisticated, layered design. The result is an informal elegance and functionality that reflects the family’s style and way of living.
“Form ever follows function."
