Sometimes it takes a LOT of imagination.A Condo Kitchen Before AfterA Ranch House Before AfterA Landmark House Before AfterEach client and each home is unique. You won’t see your future home as you look through our body ofwork. It’s not like going to a builder and telling him that you want “Model B” in a different color. Instead you’llsee how we solved the problems that other clients, buildings or sites posed, and realize that we can do thesame for you.Whether remodeling or building from scratch, we approach the design process as an exercise in problemsolving.When we have the wonderfully clean slate of a vacant lot, or are able to design additions or totallygut an existing structure, we apply the same lessons that we have learned in more restrictive situations. Themore difficult the problem, the more exciting it is to come up with a solution.We’ve seen it all. So far we’ve always been able to totally transform the homes that we’ve worked on. We’vemade small places feel bigger, narrow houses feel wider, low ceilings appear higher. We’ve filled dark houseswith light. We’ve taken nondescript places and given them personality. A good architect must be a magicianwith space.
The Inside StoryEast Lakeshore Drive Co-opNorth Shore ResidenceDePaul ResidenceUrban HouseWest Side LoftSanta Fe ResidenceIt’s a fine line between the outside and inside of a house. Wemay be architects, but we consider the interiors of your homejust as important as the exteriors. Claudia Skylar taught interiorarchitecture at the Art Institute of Chicago for ten years, andbrings this experience to our projects.Throughout the design process, we are aware of functionalneeds and furniture placement. Whether or not our clients alsohave an interior designer, Mastro & Skylar Architects is oftenasked to design the kitchen, baths, built-ins, color and materialselections, and lighting. The success of our work is a result ofthis integration.River North Condo
