Once a horse stable, this Chicago house first got a superficial makeover from Oprah (we wonder whether Stedman likes modern) before architect Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang was called in for a more substantial renovation and a dazzlingly porous brick screen.
The home’s deck extends outward toward a vista. General contractor McCutcheon Construction was tasked with improving insulation and installing double-pane windows throughout.

The design works around an existing shipping container and deck. By folding the roof along the edge of the container, Hou de Sousa was able to optimize materials and achieve the structural load distribution.
The roof, which extends into a deck, appears to float above the ground. A detached studio building is located on the site's upper level.
