Best of Design 2023: This New Home is a Work of Art in More Ways Than One

The sophisticated, ultra-modern-yet-inviting abode in Fox Chapel designed by Chicago-based architect Thomas Shafer isn’t for everyone — but it’s perfect for this art-loving couple.

In Fox Chapel, an unusual home has managed to defy all those assumptions through…
