Chicago Gold Coast

For the last seven years since I started working in the interior design field, I had the opportunity to work on many amazing projects through out Chicago. Most of these residential projects were located in the Gold Coast area high rises and town homes which comprised of many prestigious and architecturally significant buildings. "Gold Coast is one of the most treasured residential area with stately homes and quiet tree lined streets and connections to the city's past". It's wonderful how currently each building differs from the other from being very traditional and ornate to uber modern and sleek design high-rise- which later joined the landscape.
 Recently I completed two apartments in a very new high rise building  not too far from the gold coast, yet currently I am starting modern co-op in one of the very esteemed historical modern beauties in the gold coast again - which is what got me to write this post.
I love the Gold Coast for its fabulous energy, beautiful quiet tree lined streets, great restaurants, fantastic shopping, amazing spas, leisure access to Lake Shore Drive, the convenient distance to the park, zoo, the beeches at lake Michigan, theaters Oh and so much more.

Gold Coast originally was made up of mostly townhomes and later high rises were build and now they play together beautifully in the city landscape.
