Peoria Pagoda

Apartment by Rider for Life in Chicago, IL

The jumping off point for this project was the single piece of furniture that was accompanying the owners to their new home: an Asian sideboard that is a family heirloom. I The building itself bears resemblance to a traditional pagoda in a modern take, made of stacked tiers of concrete and glass with rooftop terraces spilling pops of greenery onto the facade. We used these elements to formulate a color and art swathed urban sanctuary for our London clients who strongly believe that no good home is without a heavy hand of wallpaper. Be still our hearts.
