Michigan Avenue Penthouse

After several years living abroad in Singapore, the client returned to the United States and once again engaged Peter Sandel Design to create a home around an existing collection of art and objects.

Located high above Chicago's Magnificent Mile, the penthouse is defined by expansive views and curved floor-to-ceiling windows. Custom furnishings respond to the architecture, while a restrained palette allows the artwork and sculptures collected overseas to remain central. The residence became both a new beginning and a continuation of the client's life abroad.

Curved seating and a saturated rug soften the penthouse perimeter.

The skyline remains present, but the furnishings hold the room.

A masculine primary bedroom uses leather, Murano lighting, and sunset views.
