The door to the toilet was moved to allow for a roll- shower to be built. We worked with the clients in home care-givers to place the shower components in the ideal locations. We sized the bench seat specifically for our wheelchair bound client and created open storage at the perfect height for easy access. a glass panel on a hinge provides splash protection when closed and full access when open. The spa tub provides a soothing get-away for the non- wheelchair bound client. The style and color scheme is both timeless and soothing. Materials were carefully researched to ensure immediate availability.

A hide throw from Keleen Leather adorns the Hellman Chang dining table and pairs unexpectedly with the African Kubi cloth. Head chairs from a local vintage shops add a sinewy profile to offset the sexy tailoring of our own custom dining chair designs. An Ico Parisi 1955 bar cart is the perfect complement to the dining room. The Circa Sierra Tale Sconces frame the arched entryway and add a touch of elegance.

View to the south from the bar: Freight elevator panels overhead distract from pipes, provide some acoustical modulation (batting on top of panels) and support implied 11' ceiling plan. Salvaged shiplap flooring is used for all the trim.
School house hanging fixture on track overhead and wall sconces provide a "used' quality while fabric wall scones give current feeling. Art work is hung from from salvaged railings to allow changing art without damage to walls. Two rolling doors allowing adjusting size & division of space as demand requires.

A colorful art piece was commissioned from a local Chicago artist. Visible from the outside of the building, it draws you in. Sitting in this space is both energizing from the color, and soothing from the sound of the water wall.
