It was Kahana's first time handling this process, and his team worked with
the project architects and zoning lawyers to secure the residential zoning. The
permitting process delayed the project about three months, but the team
spent that time developing potential layouts, understanding the mechanical
flow, working on the design and creating renderings for the client to review.
CHALLENGE #2 - DICTATING FROM ABOVE & BELOW
As the team got to know the property, they learned they would face challenges
installing and relocating the plumbing needed to make the home
a livable residence.
" This is a ground-level unit, " said Kahana. " There is no basement, and
the floor is a huge concrete slab. "
The thickness of the slab was nearly triple the 4-inch standard for poured
concrete floors in Chicago. In this former office, the concrete measured
roughly 12 inches. With a plan to add a bathroom and a kitchen, as well as
change the location of the existing bathroom, significant plumbing work
would need to be done, and it had to go underground to connect to the
sewer. The only option was to drill through the foot of concrete - a difficult
task that increased installation time.
Above, the extra-high ceilings had visual appeal, but they brought their
own challenges. All mechanical systems were replaced, and as is common
in an industrial space, they were left exposed in some areas.
Ceilings in the bedrooms were closed to make them cozy, but in open
spaces like the kitchen, lighting had to be run with the gas and other lines
in mind. Lighting fixtures required increased length to illuminate the space
from the 20-foot ceiling. The ceiling height also necessitated taller cabinets,
so the team chose oversized custom kitchen units with a 54-inch height to
balance the room's proportions.
