Artist Lincoln Shatz bought an apartment designed by Architect Ralph Johnson a few years ago - 1800 square feet with a 55 foot long terrace and three story glass atrium. So, no, it's not small and cool, but it does feature some nice design (Shatz shopped at Luminaire)...take a peek below the jump for some photos:

Orange Rasta Ottomans by Paulo Haubert
Super large scale custom kitchen designed by the architect - approximates a high end German line of cabinetry at about half the cost.

According to the article from The Tribune, Shatz was aiming for the worlds best bachelor pad - but fate intervened and, three days after moving in, he had his first date with his future wife. The couple are now expecting their a child, so it was a quick leap from bachelor pad to family home!

That is a great home. No wonder he found a girl to marry him so fast.

Some elements of this house are nice to me, but in general it seems so cold and non-cozy. I do appreciate clean lines though, but mixed with big fluffy pillows and a splash or two of color. I do adore the windows and the view of the city... wow!

That is possibly the most beautiful apartment I have ever seen in my life. I can see why Emily in PDX thought it was cold but it was spot on for my tastes. The industrial kitchen design is perfect for the apartments urban setting.
