Residence, Chicago, IL
This new 4,500 SF residence for a real estate developer actually has an existing 2,100 SF house shell incorporated into the design so that legally it is considered a renovation project. This allowed a simplified permitting process, administrative relief for floor area ratios and setbacks allowed only for renovation projects which are not allowed for new construction. This six bedroom, four and a half bath home includes an oversize kosher kitchen, exercise room, and completely new brick façade that was accomplished by completely stripping the exterior off the existing portions of the house.
