I lived in different parts of Lincoln Park from 1980-1994. Although this is a bit further north, they never would have allowed that crap to be built there back then. It looks like the thing in Philadelphia that the guy owned who owned the tire dump site on I95 that was burning for a year or so.

When I lived in Chicago it was strictly in the ghetto. This house made me drool a bit on my laptop. Love it.

That looks like a slightly upscale version of that joint in Gowanus on 3rd and 3rd.

It looks very very fake to me. I dont mind the architecture or shape of the house and rooms, I just hate the material used.

The exterior is amazing but it looks like a bachelor pad inside.

Oh I don't know. It's not what I would do, but I think he did it well.

Only an architect would build himself such a mediocre, overscaled monument to himself.
