When Centaur Interiors was approached for this project in the Millenium Park area of Chicago, the client made it clear that the ideal outdoor area was an absolute must-have.

Located in the Loop community area of Chicago, this residence is a stone's throw away to some of the city's best museums, cultural attractions, restaurants and bars. So while access to breath-taking views would not necessarily be a problem, project manager and Principal at Centaur Interiors Michael Miller and Design Director Jennifer Aubry still had a few challenges ahead. Since this is a landmark building, approvals had to go through the building and the city as well. This translated to many of the custom pieces found throughout the stunning home to be fabricated on-site.

While rooftop terraces are a rarity in Chicago, the opportunity to create one allowed for the Centaur team to utilize core skills related to designing, building and furnishing.

Keeping in mind that the vast majority of the world has been reeling from a global pandemic which kept us all indoors for the past year or more, any and every outdoor spaces were welcomed by client and designer alike.

One of the aforementioned key pieces that had to be fabricated onsite was the floating steel trellis which integrates lighting, heating, water misters, as well as a motorized retractable awning. Which means this would be the ideal terrace to entertain and spend time at, year-round.

The terrace also includes a custom outdoor kitchen which incorporates concealed appliances for entertaining. Multiple flooring materials of wood, tile, and turf flawlessly integrate and also incorporate lighting features. Apart from floors, the planters, walls and trellis all have lighting, which creates a lovely atmosphere throughout the evening. All of these aspects including exterior grade TVs and speakers are harmoniously controlled with smart home technology.

Smart Home Technology allows for the option of entertaining for intimate and larger-scale functions alike. The robust one-touch controls give the client the option to entertain not only in a variety of social settings but throughout various climate conditions as well.

While the rooftop may be something of an oasis, the interior of this home is nothing short of spectacular either.

Food and fine cooking are at the heart of Italian culture. So, when architect Tomassini Francesco, Chef Lucio Pompili, and Pedini were given the opportunity to design an Italian kitchen, they all agreed that it should represent these values.

Pedini's Cookeat kitchen is the perfect fit for families who like cooking and eating together indoors or outdoors. It's a contemporary take on the traditional family-style kitchen, with ample space for everyone to gather around. This makes it an excellent choice for parties and celebrations, especially for families that enjoy spending time with friends and neighbors and sharing meals by the pool in the summer or as they sit by the fire pit in the colder months.

The Cookeat kitchen design includes a generous central island that is perfect for, well, cooking and eating. The central island has seating options on either side, cooking and prep stations on both sides of the island, and plenty of space to keep everything organized. This is more than just an ideal layout for families who like to cook. It's practical, inviting, and made to complement both modern and traditional home designs.

In a Cookeat kitchen, every time you get together and spend time cooking and hanging around the table becomes a memorable event. It is an invitation to a unique culinary experience inspired by Italian culture. It was created with the idea that the kitchen table is a central meeting place for conversation, sharing, laughing, and learning.

The Cookeat kitchen was showcased at the original Eataly, the Italian food market and mecca for culinary excellence, where it was praised for its fundamental appreciation for culinary art and intelligent design.

The Cookeat collection was designed to help you feel comfortable and happy in your kitchen, which is why it can be shortened or extended as needed. You can customize the worktop, white goods, bases, and finishes so you can create the kitchen you need for your everyday use and special occasions.
