It was designed by Brininstool + Lynch in 2013.
Wood House by Brininstool + Lynch:
“Designing this Chicago residence was an exercise in creating
privacy within an urban neighborhood while providing an abundance of
open, bright space.
The first floor is defined by clear views from the landscape in
front to the courtyard at back. The second floor has private spaces with
northern and eastern light, appropriate for comfortable sleeping
spaces. The third floor provides solitude for working and adjacent
outdoor areas of repose that encompass views over the courtyard, the
neighborhood, and to the city skyline. Together, they comprise a
rational and inspiring response to basic needs of living, sleeping and
working.
The house is organized in an ‘L’. On the first floor, the living
room is a two-story volume with a lay-light of patterned acrylic that
filters natural daylight from the skylight above. Full-height windows
and doors line the east and west sides of the room, creating
seamlessness between indoors and out. The other leg of the ‘L’ is a
three-story volume along the north side of the property. Millwork boxes
separate the first floor functions. Black granite defines the perimeter
circulation, and blocks of end-grain walnut infill the center floor
areas.
An elegant open riser stair is illuminated by natural light from a
skylight above and adjacent windows. It ascends to the privacy of the
bedroom floor, which has a similar material palette to the first, but
where the first floor is open and animated; the second floor is quiet
and subdued.
The third floor houses a private study and guest suite. Each
space has its own deck and green roof with views to the sky and
courtyard below. The views, copper screens, connections to the exterior
and careful detailing create a serene and distinctive environment.”
