I’m in awe of the studio space in this redesigned warehouse in Chicago by James & Kutyla Architects  It makes me want to paint my spiral staircase to my studio white ( although the stairs have to be replaced eventually!! ) and I must buy those IKEA ALEX drawers.The green paint on the walls isn’t the only green element to the house because it is a great example of environmentally friendly living which includes geothermal heating, radiant heated floors, wind turbines, rain water cisterns, photovoltaic and thermal panels….very impressive. I thought I was doing well reducing my carbon footprint by recycling everything from cardboard toilet rolls to yogurt pots……..
