It was a treat to stay at Coleman's exceptional studio.
Coleman welcomed us in person with a bottle of red and a bowl of tangerines. He had great local recommendations, coming from a place of deep familiarity with the Highland Park area - well beyond the usual highlights one can fine online. He also offered additional ideas when we expressed our interest in building design. That kind of insider knowledge and perspective is always a delight to discover.
From the street, the property fits in with the rest of the neighborhood. But once beyond the gate, you discover what a very special place this is. The studio, located at the rear of the property, is private, quiet, and had everything we needed. The architecture is subtle, with restrained modern detailing, judicious use of primary colors to define the kitchen, bath, and closet, and an novel yet effective use of translucent panels to bring additional light and interest to the space. The outdoor patio is spectacular, very private, with a grand shade tree.
The bed was very comfortable - we woke rested and ready every morning!
We would happily stay here again.
Thank you, Coleman!
