Name: Ronnie, Viktoria and two teenaged kids
Location: East Lakeview, on Roscoe
Size: Don’t know. Never really thought about it. Big by AT standards, I suppose. Maybe 1,500-1,600 sq. ft. per floor?
Years lived in: 15; Owned since 1993 (when the price of our single-family house—originally a working-class three-flat, and then a 1970’s-influenced duplex with a rental until when we moved in—cost what a decent Lakeview condo costs today).

Ronnie and Viktoria and their two teenagers live in a home full of surprises. With enough space to experiment with how it's used, the family plays with a traditional dining room by making it home to a ping-pong table. Shelves and surfaces are covered in favorite books and magazines, toy collections and sculptures, stickers and buttons (looking like an atmosphere that engages, not a chaotic space in need of tidying). With an equal balance of shape and color, texture and calm, old and new, this East Lakeview home shows 15 years in the making - and living.
