BOLD + TAILORED + DRAMATIC

This discerning couple transitioned from the vibrant energy of the Big Apple to the timeless charm of the Windy City, seeking a vintage home to transform into a personal sanctuary. Drawn to the character of the Bucktown neighborhood, they immediately saw the potential in this house, despite its uninspired, builder-grade finishes. Through a meticulous design process, the home was reimagined to embody their bold, sophisticated aesthetic. Architectural finishes were thoughtfully upgraded with richly saturated colors enveloping nearly every surface. Custom stonework replaced generic materials and tailored moldings were introduced to elevate the stairwell into a dramatic focal point. Every fixture was carefully selected to reflect the couple’s progressive and chic style. The pièce de résistance is the master bedroom, where a luxurious Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering harmonizes with an exquisite mix of textiles from the likes of Christian Lacroix, Jim Thompson and Romo, creating a serene yet striking retreat. The result is a cohesive, richly layered home that captures the dynamic personalities and modern sensibilities of these two extraordinary men.

Professional Reviews

1 / 5

“We count our blessings every day that we found Nicholas to turn our Bucktown house into a home. What separates Nicholas from other designers (besides his impeccable taste) is that he really took the time to understand us as people; not just how we envision using our space, but how we operate in it and what passions drive us through our lives. By taking the time to understand us, he was able to infuse his designs with bespoke details made just for us. This continued throughout, from inception to final product. We loved that Nicholas brought us options, thoughtfully listened to our feedback, and that we made the final selections together, leading to a sense of pride and ownership in the final choices.” “Working with Nicholas was very easy. He was instantly responsive throughout. Because he was able to offer contractors with whom he has decades-long experience and relationships, he was able ensure that the project was managed on time, on budget, and with quality and accountability throughout. We've now lived in Nicholas's creation for about 6 months and are able to appreciate every day the subtle nuances that make our home feel like it was built just for us. It's the first time in our lives that we can truly say that we'd rather be in our home than anywhere else in the world. That is the true gift Nicholas's vision, care, and skill brought to our lives.”
