Preview some of Chicago’s most beautiful homes and meet the talented designers who created them. In Spectacular Homes of Chicago, look inside the beautiful rooms of veteran designer Janet Schirn or the exquisite homes of Suzanne Lovell, Larry Boeder and Jessica Lagrange.

Design project anecdotes and interesting theories on architecture fill the pages of City by Design Chicago. The book features the work of internationally renowned, forward-thinking firms, including Goettsch Partners, Perkins + Will and Solomon Cordwell Buenz and Associates. Architectural icons like Millennium Park, The Merchandise Mart and McCormick Place, as well as those that have yet to be completed, such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s Trump International Hotel & Tower and Lucien Lagrange Architects’ X|O, are sure to inspire.
From ground-up designs to renovations, historical restorations and large-scale additions, Dream Homes Chicago features it. Chicago’s majestic skyline and striking waterfront—along with the area’s unique downtown neighborhoods, well-established villages and up-and-coming communities—provide an exquisite backdrop for architects to place their finest work, which ranges from cutting-edge contemporary to delightfully traditional, with allusions to styles like Shingle, Arts-and-Crafts, Prairie and Tudor, among others.
