Name: Nicole & Mike Location: West Loop, Chicago My husband Mike and I live and work in a work/live loft in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. The loft is almost 2000 square feet, located in an old factory and has no doors other than the one on the bathroom. I am a graphic designer/photographer and Mike is a graphic designer/illustrator and we run a small studio together so we needed a place that has as much space as possible for all of our work stuff as well as our living space.
