What Near North Side does
to a refrigerator.

Most of its housing is in high-rise buildings along and behind Michigan Avenue, with older low-rise and loft blocks remaining in River North.

A unit here is reached through a lobby, a loading dock and a freight elevator that the building reserves by appointment.

Kitchens in these towers are laid out along an interior wall, because the plumbing and venting are fixed by the building's risers.

All of Chicago

Tower living

A refrigerator reaches a tower apartment through a service lift and a building schedule, not through a front door. That single fact decides most of what follows: the units are built-in and panel-ready far more often than freestanding, replacement is a project rather than a purchase, and a repair that would be marginal on a suburban unit is obviously worth doing here.

Small kitchens

A shallow kitchen forces a shallow appliance, and a shallow appliance vents forward because there is nowhere else. Everything it draws in and everything it rejects passes one grille near the floor, so the first question on a unit that runs without stopping is not what has failed but what it is breathing through.

Specified kitchens

When the appliance was chosen with the joinery, replacing it means touching the joinery. That is the whole arithmetic: a repair stays worth doing long past the point where a freestanding unit would have been written off, and every door job finishes with a panel hung level against the two beside it.
