Creating a new community from scratch – that was the challenge facing architect
s
Pappageorge Haymes Partners in designing the Basecamp SFH development in
Chicago. The 48 new homes, situated next to the historic Old Irving Park, needed
to be suitable for small families, priced accessibly, and offer modern living while
respecting the architectural history of the surrounding area. The solution was to
design houses with familiar and classic exteriors, but with detailing and
interiors
suited to
today’s lifestyle. Outside, featuring landscaped yards and wide fron
t
porches, each house showcases different external details to give the impression
of organic growth and variety, rather than a standard identikit development.
Inside, the design treats natural light as a priority, with open-plan first
floors, and
high ‘cathedral’ ceilings. The sophisticated and neutral finishes are ready for
owners to make their own.
