3° Flats - 4-Unit Residential Building Construction Start: Fall 2026

This project reimagines the classic Chicago four-flat as a modern urban residence. Organized as a three-story multifamily building containing four thoughtfully planned dwellings, the design emphasizes clarity of form, generous daylight, and efficient spatial organization. A restrained material palette and carefully proportioned façade establish a contemporary identity while respecting the character of the surrounding streetscape.

Flowhouse - Upper West Side

What began as two small, constrained apartments on the Upper West Side evolved into a single spatial narrative — an exploration of flow, reflection, and human scale. A036’s design redefines compact living through meticulous detailing, strategic layering, and a focus on how light inhabits space. A continuous curved wall and ceiling guide movement through the home, softening transitions and shaping a sense of calm continuity. Every gesture — from the perforated ceiling panels to the art-integrated partitions — transforms boundaries into opportunities, creating a living environment that feels effortless, luminous, and distinctly personal.

Open House - Andersonville Chicago - Construction Start: Fall 2026

Project Objective

A complete transformation of an existing two-family residence into a contemporary single-family home. The design reimagines the interior as a cohesive living environment where openness, clarity, and spatial continuity define the experience of home.

Design Intent

Conceived as a sequence of interconnected, light-filled spaces, the home blurs the boundaries between rooms through carefully orchestrated volumes, framed views, and a restrained material palette. Natural light and refined detailing shape an atmosphere that is both calm and expressive, creating a timeless residence where architecture enriches everyday life.

The Borrowed Light Apartment - East Village

Dark ground-level apartment turns into a bright and energized home by using light-colored materials and high output LED lighting. More importantly, we removed most of the walls and replaced them with translucent and clear glass, allowing for both natural light and artificial light to migrate between spaces.
