Leavitt House III, Chicago, IL

Completed Summer 2013

Consultants:  Structural Engineer – Louis Shell Structures

A courtyard building on a double lot, this residence transformed a derelict 4-unit apartment building into a modern home for live, work, and play.  The original pine floor joists were salvaged and reused as structure, stair stringers, and even a custom exterior fence.  By creating additions at the front and the rear, the interior spaces now open onto a protected outdoor room to be enjoyed by the growing family.  Strategic incisions in the original structure allow for horizontal and vertical connections through the entire 5000 SF house.
