We love a project revisit and this one has quite a We love a project revisit and this one has quite a twist... We completed this apartment, in Chicago’s famed Drake Tower in the Gold Coast neighbourhood, for dear clients and were excited to have @trevortondo capture the finished home. 
Not long after the images came back from Trevor’s office, and by pure chance, a designer in my studio spotted a familiar view in the May/June 1972 issue of @archdigest on the AD online archive. Could it be? Was it possible? Some quick back and forth between the latest images from Trevor, the AD Archive images, and the original site photos confirmed that it was the very same apartment 50 years later. Incredible! Designed by the inimitable Arthur Elrod & William Raiser for an art loving bachelor (Rothko, Frankenthaler, Gottleib and Pollack all represented), a nice thread of history connecting these two iterations that makes me smile is that the current owner is not only an art lover, but indeed an artist themselves. 
In the second image, a near identical view of the Dining Room shows a commissioned diptych by Robert Motherwell that slides together across the window facing the lake to hide the black void of dark at night.  We had similarly, and unknowingly at the time, commissioned artist @evelynahelmer to create a diptych to achieve the very same effect. 
What’s more, the AD images from ‘72 showed the vintage Knoll Brno chrome dining chairs we inherited with the apartment (refreshed with @roseuniacke mohair velvet) sitting proudly around the dining table – they had never left the home!
