The main room in this farmhouse outside of Chicago combines a kitchen and dining area in a soaring open space. Above the entire space is a bridge constructed with I-beams and steel decking. With careful placement of windows and dormers this room remains light-filled and open. The contrast of “heavy” bridge and the cathedral -like space has always drawn me back to this image.
