Chicago Residence is a two bedroom, one bathroom home of approximately 1,050 square feet, on the edge of The Village in Manchester’s city centre. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately finished, it channels the vibrancy of its surroundings through a calm, design-led lens. Warm materials, subtle lighting and precise proportions bring an inviting sense of balance to urban life.

Inspired by the quiet confidence of industrial loft living, Chicago Residence layers texture and tone to soften the energy of the city. Exposed brickwork, brushed concrete and rich timber flooring form the architectural backbone, while carefully curated furnishings add warmth and tactility. The palette moves from earthy neutrals to deep charcoal, creating a home that feels timeless, cinematic and composed.

The open-plan living area is framed by large factory-style windows that flood the space with natural light. A soft linen sofa and feature armchairs gather around the entertainment area, creating a relaxed hub for conversation and connection.

The dining table is nestled just off the kitchen and lounge, designed for slow breakfasts and unhurried evenings. The kitchen itself is sleek and functional, complete with integrated appliances, smooth stone counters and open shelving for everyday ease.

Two bedrooms combine comfort and character. Both feature standard double beds and large wardrobes, with rich fabrics, industrial details and soft light shaping private sanctuaries. Together they maintain the home’s tonal harmony and sense of calm retreat.

In the bathroom the home’s quiet luxury continues. The ensuite features a walk-in rainfall shower with brass fittings, Soft lighting, a mixture of grey kit-kit and large-format terrazzo tiles, and subtle textures create a feeling of easy refinement.
