COREY DUNNE

WHO: Owner/managing Partner, design and architecture firm d+k (dk-arch.com). HOME ’HOOD: “My office is in West Town, which has a neighborhood feel while only being a five-minute drive from downtown. Home is Barrington; it’s nice to leave the city behind at the end of the day and be surrounded by green space.” HIDDEN GEM: “The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool (125 W. Fullerton Pkwy.; lincolnpark conservancy.org). It’s hard to believe a place that serene exists in the city.” ARCHITECTURAL INSPO: “That’s a hard one. The massing of the Robie House (5757 S. Woodlawn Ave.; flwright.org/visit/robiehouse), the ambience of the Navy Pier Ballroom (600 E. Grand Ave.; navypier.com), the detailing of the Rookery Building (209 S. Lasalle St.; therookery building.com), the creativity of the Aqua Tower (225 N. Columbus Dr.; rentaqua.com), and the perfection of the Farnsworth House (14520 River Road, Plano; farnsworthhouse.org).” PLANS FOR FALL: “A road trip from New York City to Boston. I’m looking forward to seeing some historic sites in the Northeast.” FAVORITE WAY TO DE-STRESS: “Swimming and spending time on the lakefront.”
