New construction 8 unit masonry condominium building in Chicago’s Taylor Street, Little Italy, University Village neighborhood across from Ariggo Square Park. The new construction uses elements from the surrounding 19th century facades incorporating limestone lintels, tall windows and varying depths of the masonry facade while also expressing more contemporary clean lines and verticality from the street. The 8 units are generously sized three bedroom units over 1,500 square feet each with additional outdoor spaces and indoor parking hidden from street view. This project replaced a much loved but sadly structurally unsound and deteriorating masonry farmhouse from the post Chicago fire years and hopes to fill a void left by the farmhouse’s ultimate demolition.
