Forget the sprawling suburban mansion with tennis court and swimming pool-from New York to Los Angeles, Miami to Chicago, the visionary home owners featured within these pages have created legendary, livable residences right in the heart of the city. From an artist's warren of studios in New York City-crowned by a magnificent rooftop garden draped with wisteria arbors-to a 16,000-square-foot château in Chicago with a master bedroom created from a former ballroom, these spaces are truly spectacular. They are also warm, friendly, and original. In short, they are real-life homes-but with many more rooms and amenities than most urban dwellings. Majestic Metropolitan Living offers a tour through these unique and beautifully designed interiors. Their visionary owners have reinvented the original spaces, combining apartments or turning former warehouses and other nonresidential buildings into comfortable family homes.
