 Client Profile
Artists Robb and Brienne Stark are purchasing a condo above an art studio in Chicago,
Illinois. In their early to mid-thirties the couple enjoys traveling, photography, playing
music and going to local shows. A music room is a necessity for this home, as it is a
means for work, and will display a large collection of records as well as instruments. A
modern, clean look is the style preferred with eccentric furniture pieces and pops of
colors contributed with photographs taken by Mrs. Stark. A monochromatic color
scheme is best used in this space, essentially starting with neutral colors, and using
variations of those. Adding texture will bring harmony to the space, thus creating a
relaxing and creative environment.
 Architectural Style
The historical style used on this building is Dormer Pediment
Second Empire. The most important aspects window

of this style are the mansard roof, a dormer Two-over-two

windows
window protruding from the roof, and the Mansard
corner pavilion. Second Empire was created Roof
to be a more elaborate and grander style,
derived from and similar to Italianate and
Renaissance Revival. The combinations of Projecting
Cornice
roofs used are impeccable, each roofline
Corner
defining it space, and a broad color scheme Pavilion
throughout tie together the look. (Harwood)
