Curated + Expressive + Vibrant

This sophisticated Lakeshore East retreat exudes culture and character, artfully reflecting the unique personality and style of a vibrant blended family who splits their time between Chicago and Miami. As longtime collaborators with NMI, our journey began with a simple furnishing project and evolved into a full-scale gut renovation. The goal: to craft an airy, light-filled sanctuary that bursts with refined color and artistic expression. To highlight the striking cityscape, we employed a restrained architectural palette, allowing curated furnishings and art to take center stage. Each detail was meticulously considered, from architectural finishes that echo the textures and tones of Chicago’s skyline to the thoughtful interplay of materials inspired by the surrounding environment. In the kitchen, matte lacquer cabinetry and a hand-troweled stone finish subtly nod to the iconic limestone facades of neighboring buildings. The Ocean Blue Quartzite countertops and backsplash further enhance the connection to nature, mirroring the ever-changing hues of Lake Michigan’s blues, greens and greys. The result is a harmonious space where luxury meets livability, designed to celebrate both the family and their surroundings.

“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.”
