“We wanted to balance a timeless
home with modern touches that are
still cozy for everyday living,” says
the wife of a couple who moved into
their new-construction Lincoln Park
home last year. Looking around at
the immaculate kitchen she adds,
“And it had to be durable. We
have a 2-year-old and 5-year-old!”
Brought in to make that wish list
into a house was the team of Vincere
with principals Tom Konopiot
and Michad Stornello, along with
builder Bloomfield Development.

It may have been an empty nest that prompted a
husband and wife to downsize from their Oak Park
home to a tailored Lincoln Park townhouse, but by no means is it an empty house. In fact, theirs is a rather full one that cleverly uses every inch of its narrow urban lot. “They wanted a traditional envelope but not necessarily a traditional lifestyle,” explains Tom Konopiots, who, with partner Michael Stornello, was hired to realize the couple’s vision.
“The move to the city has invigorated us,” says the wife. “Who I am today is different from who I was when we had little kids. We see plays every week—do things we didn’t do before—and this house is a gathering point.”
