TERRAZZA MINIMALISTA
Chicago, IL
1,550 sf
Penthouse Terrace
This penthouse offers unobstructed views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. Our clients, frequent visitors to the Amalfi Coast, wanted to recreate a Mediterranean lifestyle in their city home by introducing an Italian minimalist aesthetic to their terrace. Program requirements included space for large dinners and parties, a bocce court, and a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen.
The design is centered around a steel dining pergola with an adjacent 18-ft linear water feature. A stainless steel outdoor kitchen is situated to the south, and to the north is a lounge and bocce court/putting green that provides entertainment for all ages.
A material palette defined by diverse shades and textures of white unifies the space and contrasts with the water and sky to evoke a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. Integrated lighting in the lounge and perimeter wall creates an artful evening scene. A custom glass guardrail blocks prevailing winds to maintain a calm environment.
