1720 S Michigan Condos, Chicago

The residences at 1720 South Michigan are a dramatic unification of loft-like layout and luxury interior finishes. Each unit is a balance between the edgy urban den of a hard loft and the comfortable European sophistication of a contemporary condominium. While obviously a new construction, 1720 South Michigan incorporates clear influences of 1960s architecture. A concrete and steel framework forms the solid skeleton of this South Loop newbie, accented by floor-to-ceiling glass walls and balconies scaling the exterior facade. Very geometric in design, the uniform concrete lines are offset by several cylindrical structures grouped at the base of the building - a demonstration of modern motif meets traditional tower. 
  
Inside 1720 South Michigan, natural light and exposed cement surfaces are dominating elements of design that flawlessly complement one another, pairing industrial chic aspects with welcoming sunlit living areas. Daylight pours in through the expanse of windows, warming the condos to create a comfy, inviting space. The private terraces are extensions of the interior living/dining room that allow residents to enjoy their own outdoor oasis.
 
The lobby is an introduction to the ultramodern living at 1720 South Michigan. A wall of glass surrounds the entryway with imported wood paneling and sleek steel partitions breaking up the large foyer. Polished, grey slate flooring brings the outdoors in, giving the room an organic streak shared throughout the condominium.
