Located on one of Chicago’s West Loop’s liveliest streets, Studio Sven led the full architectural vision and space planning of the two story penthouse — from the kitchen, dining room, and living areas to the bedrooms, six bathrooms, and statement central staircase. Each design detail was meticulously executed, layering architectural interest with personal narrative.

Our goal was to make the home feel grounded and gracious — like a true single-family residence — despite being high above the city. Every architectural move was about openness, flow, and creating spaces that feel effortless for daily family life. As featured on Homes.com.
