However, they loved so much their first location that they didn’t want to let go so they searched for a place with similar characteristics until they finally decided to move in Bucktown. It’s fun place to live in, with plenty of cafes, bars and an increasing number of upmarket shops, just like in New York.

The couple decided to build their own house. They started the project in early 2008 and just one year and a half later everything was ready. The interior design was created by Robin, with her creative and imaginative mind. She was inspired by some books she found in a bookstore in Chicago and used those ideas as inspiration for their own house.
