Vladimir Radutny turns two Chicago apartments into home with walnut interiors
Chicago firm Vladimir Radutny Architects has transformed a dilapidated building in the city, using a dark timber staircase to connect a pair of previously separate residences.
The Sawyer Residence is located in a brick structure that dates back over 100 years, and originally contained two apartments on top of one another.
Local studio Vladimir Radutny Architects overhauled the series of rooms into a more spacious single-family residence by ripping down walls and adding a new outdoor area.
Spanning 4,500 square feet (418 square metres) across the two storeys, the main living area is now located on the first level and three bedrooms can be found upstairs.
A focal point of the interior design is a contemporary timber staircase, which both contrasts with, and relates to, the original details of the building. With a large solid panel of dark walnut forming a railing, the wood matches the original pocket doors.
The staircase meets a matching dark timber wall dividing a living room from a narrow corridor, which acts as a foyer and coat closet.
A new skylight above the stairs draws light into the core of the home.
Throughout the house, woodwork is custom designed by the studio. The walnut in the foyer and on the staircase is repeated for kitchen cabinetry, feature walls, and multiple doors ? adding a cohesiveness to the project.
