1. Condominium and mixed-use building was designed for John Buck Development in 2004 while at SCB.
Mid-Rise Condominium Proposal
John Buck Development Co. Evanston Il.
This 184 unit, 10 story
condominium complex
was designed for a site
on Chicago Avenue in
Evanston, just 6 miles
north of the city proper.
The unique site is both
conveniently located
close to city-bound pub-
lic transportation and
adjacent to the single-
family homes of an
upscale, quiet suburb.
At the street, this ma-
sonry clad, glass struc-
ture has a retail compo-
nent that continues the
dense, Chicago Avenue
fabric. This is backed
up by a 2 story garage
topped by an east fac-
ing landscape terrace.
The terrace provides an
elevated view to Lake
Michigan, that is about
a 1/2 mile away and
breaks up into intimate,
green amenity spaces
for the condominiums
above. These treelined
courtyards are meant
to shade the glassy east
facades and serve as
a stylistic contrast to
the otherwise modern-
ist design aesthetic.
