Awwww, I was soo excited to see the old architecture and it flow condo. Bummer! 😔 Beautiful views though.

they should have kept the original architecture throughout.

Wow! I'm surprised at some of the comments below (although I think that I do understand them). The place appeared cold, modern, and without charm. Inside, the artistry of the past is gone - but maybe it just couldn't be saved. Even as it is, it looks nice enough and some nice furnishings and paint might warm it up considerably.

Yes, the interior is insipid, grey and blah, the staircase is cold and frankly dangerous. Not a place for the young or old...

Why do these beautiful old places wind up looking like Drs offices or some kind of institution? Black laqer, chrome, white everything. Modern yes but not an ounce of warmth to make it a home . Artificial intelligences should live in these sterile, bleak surround ings. Not human beings.

What a beautiful condo! But it's very sad tgat tge city of Chicago is a unsafe place to live. Do to all the crime is going on in that city. If tgeir was hardly any crimes in tgat city. People would love to move there and cause all they want is a beautiful clean and a safe environment for their family.

From the start until about 1:20 was beautiful. After that, it went down hill. The money shot was at 0:18 secs. My feeling is that the conservatory is probably the most used space in the entire condo. Seriously, that is the room where ALL deals are made. At night, I bet that the conservatory is so grand, you have charge folks a fee, just to get in.

@narata1541 2 жыл бұрын

True. That's why I can't live in Chicago as when I was looking for an apartment/condo, I keep seeing how the living room is the most used space. I don't understand why people don't use the other rooms equally? Sure, some don't cook that much, but the kitchen is a great place to stay. I'm thinking of other states to go in where all the space is used equally as every space matters.

@usamnmusclenut 4 жыл бұрын

Not the best use of the space as it's the vintage architecture that makes it special...otherwise looks like any modern apartment.

@lvmiami 11 жыл бұрын

The main space is great! The rest is pathetic and lazy design that merely yields to the views. So typically Chicago, you can find in any condo or faux soft loft in the South Loop. I wish the rest of the space matched the grandeur of the main colonnaded space in a modern way. Perhaps Roman and Williams should have designed it... *sigh*

I don't understand why you show these places in builder's white with echoes reverberating around that would ruin your hearing in no time. You started well with the observatory room, but then it was just a bore. Modern pleases some, but really it is soooo boring and repetitive.
