A Century-Old Logan Square Home Reimagined for Today
This century-old home sits in Logan Square, a Chicago neighborhood defined by its grand historic boulevards, stately greystones, and the Illinois Centennial Monument that anchors its central public square. Kuchar's renovation honors the building's age while updating it for the way the family lives now, blending modern and vintage sensibilities across palette, lighting, furniture, and accents. The result is a home that reads as continuous with the neighborhood — a residence whose vintage architecture earns its place in a streetscape that celebrates the same — while feeling fully current at the level of furnishing, finish, and daily use.
Renovating a historic home in Chicago's Logan Square requires a designer fluent in the language of the neighborhood's boulevard architecture. The most successful interiors in this category preserve the character of the original house — original detail, scale, and the proportions that come with century-old construction — while introducing a contemporary layer through palette, lighting, furniture, and considered finishes. Pairing modern and vintage in the same residence is less a stylistic gesture than a way of acknowledging that the house has a history worth keeping. The home becomes a continuation of the boulevard rather than a departure from it.
