Ardmore Residence

A new single-family home in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood, following the demolition of the existing dwelling, was named Architect Record’s House of the Month in January 2021. The Kwong von Glinow design features a two-story curved interior courtyard and large picture windows, stretching the length of the home. The home flips traditional layouts with thoughtfully-sized bedrooms on the first floor and bright, open living spaces such as the kitchen and living room on the second floor. The unique residence features vaulted ceilings, Montclair Danby Marble countertops and terrazzo tile. The exposed trusses, wrapped in French white oak, match the hardwood floors, trim and custom kitchen.

Architect: Kwong von Glinow
