JRW Model Homes--Millennium Centre Skyhome

When American Invsco, one of the Nation’s largest condominium developers, included six Sky View Homes to its 57-story luxury complex, Millennium Centre, they relied on the space planning and design expertise of the international award-winning firm of John Robert Wiltgen Design, Inc. to create the interior architectural details and finish specifications for theses exquisite residences. Prices start at $2.4 million.		THE RESIDENCES AT MILLENNIUM CENTRE Solomon, Cordwell and Buenz were the architects for the project. They positioned the 5,000 square foot Sky View Homes, on the 15th floor roof atop the commercial space. Privileged residents will have breathtaking views, first-rate security, and outstanding amenities. In addition to creating the architectural space plan and dramatic kitchen and baths JRWD also created a complete interior design concept which is showcased in a 9 minute virtual tour. One of a kind antiques, museum quality artwork and accessories, as well as the finest contemporary furniture and furnishings are featured in this home.

	This 300-square-foot outdoor terrace, facing west, is 15 floors above street level and the backyard to some of the most majestic views of the city of Chicago.
	The enormous great room on the first level features two plush eight-foot-long sofas grouped around an inlaid marble top cocktail table. A rare Roualt print is placed above an antique Biedermeier chest. A Nechita original painting is displayed to the left of the windows. City views provide another form of art - Chicago's constantly changing color palette.
	The fireplace wall is fabricated in exotic Zebrawood veneers and combed bronze panels which conceal a state-of-the-art 42-inch flat screen TV, activated by the touch of a remote control.
	A mercury glass dining table is paired with an antique buffet, alabaster chandelier and eight fabulous dining chairs. The painting by Chicago artist, Laurie Hogan, is a dramatic backdrop for discerning hosts who enjoy elegant entertaining at home.
	The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, therefore, the team of designers selected exotic Zebrawood veneers replicating the look of fine furniture. The floors and all architectural trim are Wenge. Ceilings soar to 11 feet. Wall-hung cabinetry includes 42-inch-high uppers topped by a row of 24-inch-high cabinets. Some cabinetry is open, illuminated with concealed halogen lighting, to highlight the owner's art. Concealed and recessed lighting is provided under and over cabinetry.
	The graciously proportioned foyer, large enough to entertain guests, features this custom staircase sculpted from bronze, steel and milk glass which is dramatically set against the fantastic Chicago skyline views and the residents favored art pieces. The stair stringer conceals fiber optic lighting which casts a soft glow in this three story area.
	The eclectic master bedroom comfortably marries contemporary furnishings with antiques. Pair of period Biedermeier Yew wood commodes display delicate rock crystal table lamps. The sleigh bed is made from Macassar ebony wood veneers. The room faces west, providing breathtaking views of the city and romantic sunsets.
	Roman glass, dating back to the second century, adorns the top of a Biedermeier table. An antique Italian bibliotheque is displayed against a mirrored wall and filled with rare books and objects d'art acquired by the residents during travels abroad.
	The master bath features an antique French Art Deco mirrored vanity, multicolored patterned stone floor (a JRWD trademark) and sophisticated lighting featuring decorative sconces, a period French glass pendant fixture from the '30's, and recessed lights.
	This antique French Deco mirrored make-up table inspired the detailing for the vanity and mirrored tub apron which complements the multicolored stone floor. An etching from the Picasso Vollard Suite hangs above the whirlpool tub.
	The sculptural staircase soars to this sky-home's third floor and is illuminated by an overhead skylight. Surrounding windows provide postcard-like views of the city. Two 24-foor Royal Palm trees soften the approach to the atrium on the top floor.
	The top floor atrium offers sensational daytime and evening views of Chicago's skyline. Skylight and floor-to-ceiling windows allows the sunlight to flood the space. The atrium serves as a sitting room for the two guest bedroom suites.
