Jesse and Cali's apartment building is inspiring, not only because they've created a beautiful modern and minimal home without splurging, but because of its deep history in Detroit. The building opened in 1926 as a home to graphic artists working in all of the nearby industries, General Motors in particular. "Using features like reinforced concrete, or the art-deco facade on the front of the building with terracotta, a lot of cues were taken from nearby prolific architect Albert Kahn as well in the construction of the building," Jesse says.
