The Paulina Residence is a private residence for a professional couple with kids located on a corner lot in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago. Given that one of them is of Venezuelan origin, they had a strong connection to the early mid-century modern aesthetic of Latin American architecture, where ornament made way for interest in volumes and planes. Drawing on the visionary work of that time from architects such as Niemeyer, Villanueva and Le Corbusier, the owners looked to explore those past radical forms and materials with a fresh interpretation. This formed their vision for their Chicago home.
