I’m all for church conversions – they have everything a loft should have: soaring ceilings, grand open spaces, exposed brick. But they also have more: exceptional architecture, intricate ornaments and oh, those stained glass windows!
This unit in 1568 Superior Street, Chicago has them all. Being sold more times than I can count, this unit is a great church conversion. Actually, this church has been divided to contain multiple units – this one is probably the best of them.
(a similar unit in the same building is for sale here)

Somosa House
Another fantastic house by A-cero, great Spanish architects – 18,300 square-foot of awesomeness! From the first moment the house clearly shows its intentions, and bold, stylized forms, thanks to a subtle handling of curves that match harmoniously with their natural context without sacrificing a distinctly modern look. Horizontal lines dominate volumes, which are superimposed in layers, from a partially visible basement, forming layers that appear to emerge naturally from the ground.
