Located in Chicago, River North Loft is the result of collaboration between Foster Dale Architects and Marcus Design Studio.

位于芝加哥的北河阁楼是福斯特·戴尔建筑师和马库斯设计工作室合作的结果。

Project description: Our client purchased this raw loft space and came to FDA excited about the potential of a blank slate. He knew there were challenges involved because the neighboring units above and below had been finished by their owners years earlier when the building was originally converted to condos.

项目描述：我们的客户购买了这个原始的阁楼空间，并来到FDA，对一块空白石板的潜力感到兴奋。他知道有一些挑战涉及到，因为附近的单位上下已经完成了他们的业主数年前，当建筑物最初被改建为共管公寓。

We helped him to work with an acoustic consultant (Threshold Acoustics) to design isolating systems for the floor, walls - ceiling – these strategies will greatly reduce the noise from (and to) the neighbors and the creakiness inherent in an old heavy timber building. The acoustic ceiling system is designed to allow much of the timber beam ceiling to remain exposed, and the floating built-up floors not only help acoustically but also conceal plumbing and radiant heating below the floor.

我们帮助他与一位声学顾问(阈值声学)合作，为地板、墙壁设计隔离系统。

The layout allows for a large open entertaining space (with exposed brick, timbers and piping) at the front of the unit and private bedrooms at the rear. The entertaining space is defined spatially by a raised floor and framed cabinetry at the kitchen, entry area with a firebox set into a textured wall and built-in cabinetry at the living room zone (with proportions adhering to the Golden Ratio as a nod to our client’s mathematical background). FDA designed the custom cabinetry and worked with our client to select interior finishes. Our client collaborated with Jeanne Marcus of Marcus Design Studio on furniture selection and paint colors.

布局允许一个大的开放娱乐空间(暴露的砖块，木材和管道)在单位的前面和私人卧室在后面。娱乐性空间在空间上由一层凸起的地板和厨房的框架橱柜来定义，进入区域用一个火箱设置在一个质感的墙壁上，并在起居室区域内建一个橱柜(比例保持在黄金比率上，作为对我们客户数学背景的一种认可)。FDA设计了定制橱柜，并与我们的客户合作，选择室内装饰。我们的客户与马库斯设计工作室的珍妮马库斯合作家具选择和油漆颜色。
