UnparalleledExtraordinary views capture the romance and dramatic backdrop of Chicago; from sunrise, to the evening stars, to the magnificent fireworks.

Such a placeThere are living spaces that go beyond the bare-bones minimalism, today, too often passed off as modern.

This is such a place.

Living roomIts rigorous craftsmanship, concern for honest detail, and disciplined design reflect the principled intent of the masters of the Moderne; Jean-Michel Frank and his disciples.

Modern eleganceThis is a place that piques the intellect and lifts the spirit, representing a more baroque modernism.

LibraryThe solidity of wooden forms is softened by the view toward Grant Park and Burnham Harbor. A wet bar, book wall, and fireplace complete this rich, masculine retreat where games are played and evenings savored.

KitchenThe kitchen reflects the apartment’s sophisticated decor. Its elegant cabinetry, wood floor, honed granite and polished steel accord with the luxury and simplicity of, and flow naturally with, the rest of the home.

Dining roomWrapped in the comfort of warm, cherry paneling, casual repasts and formal dinners are enhanced by the panorama of Navy Pier. A wine cupboard is discreetly concealed.

Master bedroomThe spectacle of Navy Pier and the romantic lights of the city enhance this relaxing escape with a separate sitting area, custom-built walk-in closet and private bath.

Sybaritic spaThe contrasting play of warm wood and diffused light throughout excites the senses. Intimate spaces appear in counterpoint to Chicago’s most dramatic and expansive vistas.

Meet the Designer

After painting and studying Art History in France and the Netherlands in 1966-67, Thomas Callaway returned to the United States and graduated from Lawrence University in Wisconsin with a degree in Fine Art and Architecture. In 1979, after ten years in Manhattan he moved to Los Angeles. Throughout the 1980s Mr. Callaway designed interiors and supervised construction on several residences including his own home. This personal project became a laboratory of experimentation in materials, planning, and finishes that set the course for forming his firm, Thomas Callaway Associates, Inc. in 1989.

In the past 16 years of business he and his design associate Janece Word have completed over 70 projects for numerous film and television stars, writers, producers, and directors, bringing his firm national acclaim and distinction in many shelter books and magazines. His recent and current work now includes residential and commercial projects from coast to coast, principally in Chicago, Miami, New York, Connecticut, Northern California, New Mexico and Los Angeles. Thomas Callaway Associates, Inc. has grown to a team of ten including architects, interior designers and draftsmen. Thomas Callaway has been included in House Beautiful Magazine’s “Top 100 designers in America.”

In 1990 he designed a furniture line based on English and French club furniture which has been collected by a list of notable clients in the film and music business. His work has been regularly visible in American design magazines as well as being published in numerous architecture and design books including Tim Street-Porter’s The Los Angeles House, Casa California by Elizabeth McMillian, American Country Cottages and Romantic Country by Mary Emmerling, Dinah Hall’s Ethnic Interiors, The Home Office Book by Donna Paul, and House Beautiful’s Christmas.

Since 1996 Mr. Callaway has added another dimension to his design repertoire by designing, developing and selling a number of custom homes and estates on the West Side of Los Angeles. He has brought his trademark of high quality and attention to detail to each and every one of these period European- and American-style homes, bringing him additional enjoyment and a loyal following of home buyers and real estate brokers.

Riverview Condominiums is situated in Streeterville on the near north side of Chicago, bounded by the river on the south, the Magnificent Mile portion of Michigan Avenue on the west, and Lake Michigan on the north and east. The majority of the land in this neighborhood is reclaimed sandbar and Streeterville owes its name to an interesting and quirky tale about a sandbar. George Wellington “Cap” Streeter was a jack-of-all-trades who, in 1886, purchased a boat and took it for a test run on Lake Michigan during a storm. Cap and his wife, who was also aboard, ended up on a sandbar 450 feet east of Michigan Avenue. Instead of digging themselves out once the storm had passed, they decided to live on the sandbar, aboard their boat.

With its colorful history and something-for-everyone attractions, Streeterville is one of Chicago’s most interesting neighborhoods and caters to both locals and visitors; it is a family-oriented neighborhood as well as a major tourist destination. Streeterville is home to some of Chicago’s finest hotels, restaurants, professional office centers, residential high rises, universities, medical facilities and cultural venues, along with some of the best dining and shopping Chicago has to offer.
