Constantine D. Vasilios and Associates, Inc.

Located in the base of the historic Brewster Building, a Chicago landmark, this ice cream parlor was designed to create an enjoyable and fun space for families. Constantine D. Vasilios & Associates, Ltd. started with what may be considered a small dark space with eight foot ceilings and created a design that felt grand. This was accomplished through the use of mirrors and varied ceiling heights. The parlor has the effect of being a large volume of space within small square feet dimensions. Linear booths and vaulted ceilings were employed for the memory of an ornamental environment with milky lacquer surfaces, reflections, and stimulating faux finishes.
