With over 25 years of interior design home projects in the Chicagoland area and beyond, our high-rise clientele have been some of our favorite builds. At JSDG, our proximity to Chicago’s skyline has led to designing luxurious penthouses, sky-high escapes, and piede-e-tierras, and eventually for clientele in Boston, Miami, and other cities. As an interior design firm, we approach our high-rise projects with a specific perspective on highlighting the view, effortless living, and adding drama. 

Design With the View in Mind

Your vantage point is what makes your high-rise so magnificent— and here at JSDG we make every interior design decision focused on it. That means custom home furniture layouts oriented toward the sights, knocking down walls for greater visibility, and strategically placing mirrors and to reflect the view and lighting to enhance it. Every room, even the bathroom, is designing from this perspective. A purposefully placed tub, for example, means you can quite literally soak in your spectacular view.

Effortless Living

Designing for a metro, modern home interior presents different opportunities to get creative. Knowing you enter up the elevator and straight into your space rather than a utilitarian mudroom affects how we approach your everyday environment; knowing your high-rise needs to be a true escape from the bustle of the city streets affects how we approach your environment. These are all things we pore over, and then design accordingly to make the shifts in your routine from hustle to home as smooth and serene as possible. Every detail, like motorized window treatments for seamless, automated transitions from privacy to grand views, are vital. And again, as always at JSDG and especially with city living, we utilize multifunctional pieces to enhance effortless living. 

Adding Drama

The expansive view and high-rise heights  are inherently dramatic, and our goal is to enhance that. Sleek, modern, and bold design yet inviting, comfortable, and relaxing ambiance is what adds the right balance of drama. Dramatic lighting accentuates the view and the vibe— like one high rise build in which we lowered the concrete ceilings a whole inch to add low-depth can lighting. Just imagine coming home to that sophisticated yet cozy sanctuary, slowly dimming your lights as the sun goes down in the city… Tranquil. Calming. All you want from your high-rise haven.
