In order to suit the client’s unique portfolio of Pop Art lithographs, the functional elements of open apartment living are hidden from view, allowing one to feel as though they have stepped into a gallery space wired for living rather an apartment space equipped to display art.
The unit’s only aperture opens to the north, framing Chicago’s iconic Lake Shore Drive. The sculptural interweaving of form and space are designed to express the incidental voids amidst the city’s oscillating texture below. Alternatively, the client’s art collection is choreographed along the space’s west wall.
The rare two-sided lithographs are wall-mounted on hinged frames, offering the client and his guests the ability to take all fragments in at once. Each time the work is engaged, the configuration changes. Over time, the wall shifts, adjusts and moves, becoming a real-time expression of the interplay between the viewer and his surroundings.
