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.
I love this apartment!!!!
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!
The second you add big fluffy pillows you don't have clean lines anymore.
the space looks awesome, especially the kitchen. i like how black is used to make it look modern and classy. on the other hand the couch looks uncomfortable to sit in. its too flat. i live in orange county, ca and as of now im a student but i hope that when i graduate the same thing happens to me when i try to look for a bachelor pad. so far this high rise is my dream pad. Skyline at McArthur Place, its probably the closest thing i can dream on having here in the OC similar to a new york loft.
