Residence for Two Collectors by Wheeler Kearns Architects living room

15 Masterful Art Collectors’ Homes That Let the Work Shine

9 of 15

A full penthouse floor of a Chicago high-rise with 11-foot ceilings was gutted by Wheeler Kearns Architects to make way for the vision of two life-long collectors. They wanted a space that would display their furnishings ranging from midcentury to contemporary pieces as well as an array of art and sculptures. In addition to comfortably housing the couple and their dog, the home also needed to be able to transition into an event space that could accommodate 75 people.
