Client Request:
The owner of a three-story loft in Chicago’s prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood approached IronClad Building with a unique vision: create a space that combines the charm of an English gentlemen’s club with the boldness of a New York loft. The focus was on building an atmosphere—rich, moody, and timeless—with special attention to private spaces like the home bar, massage room, spa zone, and personal library.
What We Delivered:
– Preserved original exposed brickwork, complemented by dark wood, cast iron columns, and a deep, immersive color scheme
– Designed a custom vintage-style bar with a mirrored backsplash, reclaimed oak countertop, and brass fixtures
– Created a private art gallery wall with emerald backlighting to highlight antique and framed artwork
– Styled the massage room in deep emerald tones with a tropical leaf ceiling print, blending old-world charm with retreat vibes
– Developed a spa area with Eastern European–inspired plunge baths and handcrafted vintage tiles
– Added lush colonial-style greenery and natural elements to soften the overall structure
– Integrated all furniture and finishes with smart planning for ventilation, lighting, and acoustics
The Result:
An atmospheric interior that feels like a personal sanctuary and a collector’s haven. The loft blends the intimacy of a London library, the raw energy of an urban loft, and the tranquility of a boutique spa. Each space tells its own story, and together they create an immersive home experience. The client was so impressed—they immediately began planning the outdoor terrace design with us.
