3. 250 S. Wacker
Chicago, Illinois
LEED Registered
A 16 story 270,000 sf office
building across from the Sears
Tower was renovated into office
condominiums. The masonry and
concrete exterior has been
entirely re-clad with metal panels
and white opaque glass. Windows
were replaced throughout and the
existing glass entry atrium was
reconfigured and re-glazed in
a modern and inviting manner.
The white glazed ‘feature
wall’ resolves the numerous
configurations of the building’s
volumes and recognizes it’s
location on the corner of
a major urban intersection.
The Ground Floor office lobby
presents a serene mix of materials,
forms and lighting. The sleek use
of stone, wood and cove lighting
planes underscore the modern
simplicity and elegance of
the project. The building’s
exterior geometry and finishes
are allowed to penetrate
the lobby, thereby blending
the interior and exterior
elements into a unified whole.
Office level elevator lobbies
and bathrooms are built out
on each floor, as is a private
terrace on the 16th floor. The
remainder of each office floor
is left unfinished to allow
customization by each occupant.
4. 250 S. Wacker
Chicago, Illinois
LEED Registered
The Ground Floor lobby of
this downtown office building
presents a serene mix of materials,
forms and lighting. The sleek use
of stone, wood and cove lighting
planes underscore the modern
simplicity and elegance of
the interior design. The building’s
exterior geometry and finishes
are incorporated into the
lobby design, thereby blending
the interior and exterior
elements into a unified whole.
5. The 250 S. Wacker building was
gutted to its core and remade
as an environmentally sensitive
structure taking full advantage
of its park-like setting and
sweeping views. The building
was given a fresh, contemporary
look by re-skinning it with
a rainscreen aluminum cladding
system in conjunction with
a new curtain wall of energy
efficient Low-E windows.
As part of the modernization
that took place with the HVAC
system, a perimeter Active
Chilled Beam system was
installed. The chilled beam
system uses minimum energy,
has no moving parts, is minimum
maintenance, and is ceiling
mounted. The system looks
great, functions perfectly,
and satisfies the project’s
energy conservation goals.
The Chilled Beam system
transfers the majority of heating
and cooling loads from the air
distribution system to the water
distribution system. Because of
the building’s proximity to the
Chicago River, river water is
drawn into the water distribution
system for the majority of the
heating and cooling loads. The
new building automation system
controls the building’s heating,
ventilating and air conditioning
systems and reduces energy
consumption by 65 percent.

11. The Curve
Chicago, Illinois
The residential development of a
110,000 sf South Loop site will
include 600 dwellings above a
50,000 sf base consisting of retail
and parking. The Curve is
intended to be a major addition to
the Printer’s Row neighborhood
and unlike several other
residential towers planned for the
area, The Curve will offer both
condominium and townhouse
style residences. The roof of the
commercial / parking base will
function as an amenity deck
for the residences, offering
recreational areas that will include
outside space, community rooms
and a pool. The sweeping curve
of the tower acts as a large
scale urban gesture, maximizing
dramatic views from within
while giving the development
its signature image and name.
The five story commercial base
reinforces the appropriate urban
edge along the Clark Street
corridor, while creating the
raised open courtyard which
becomes the unique gathering
point of the project.

13. Catalpa Gardens
Chicago, Illinois
New Homes Magazine - “Chicago’s Best New Mid-Rise, 2005”
Catalpa Gardens consists of three
eleven story residential towers
located on a landscaped parking
base and connected by enclosed
glass bridges. 126 condominium
dwellings with terraces, balconies
or roof penthouses comprise this
colorful urban development. Units
range in size from 657 - 1,408 sf
and share common amenities
such as garden terraces, rooftop
fitness and community rooms,
a dog walk and lake views.
The colorful palette of the
building’s exterior assures it as a
neighborhood landmark. The
modern detailing compliments
the structure’s massing so as
not to overpower the
subtle elements of the design.
14.
15. 1225 W. Jackson Tower
Chicago, Illinois
The Jackson Boulevard Development consists of a new
30 story condominium tower with 207 residential dwellings atop
a six story base of 233 enclosed parking spaces. An urban
collage in terms of massing, the low and tall elements of the
building reflect the structures found in the neighborhood. The
building is located on the property to allow for a new ground
level public park to the east. The six story parking structure will
have a landscaped roof that will connect to interior residential
common space at the same level. Cantilevered balconies and
numerous window configurations add a dynamic distinction to the
development. A slim roof canopy caps the building’s strong presence.
16.
17. Union Square
Chicago, Illinois
The residential development of
an entire city block in downtown
Chicago included construction of
a new building and the renovation
and addition to an existing
building. Union Square is a secure
courtyard community composed
of two buildings with parking
below grade. The first building,
an existing six story industrial
structure, was renovated and
enlarged to include four new
‘Penthouse’ floors. The second
building, a new five story
structure, was designed in a
complimentary manner to
maintain a consistent and
unified image for the entire
project. Bounded by Orleans,
Hubbard, Kinzie and Franklin
Streets, Union Square provides
217 loft dwellings that range
between 700 and 2,000 sf.
At 240,000 sf of residential area,
the remodeling of the original
building was a combination of
restoration and new construction.
The lower six floors of the
building’s exterior were
sympathetically restored,
maintaining the detail and
articulation of the original design.
The four newly constructed
‘Penthouse’ floors were set back
from the original structure on the
courtyard side of the
development. Incorporating the
rhythm and detail of the original
structure, the new floors
seamlessly link the new
construction to the existing
building and complete the
composition with a subtle
ornamental gesture at the top.
The five story newly constructed
residential loft building maintains
the consistency of the original
structure’s design concept,
incorporating similar design
features to reinforce the unified
image of the entire development.
The ‘U’ shape plan of the new
building maintains the appropriate
urban edge along the sidewalk,
while creating the interior open
courtyard which becomes the
unique focal point of the project.

Chicago, Illinois
Chicago Sun-Times Residential Real Estate Award for Excellence, 1995
The renovation of a
vacant Lakeview neighborhood
Department Store into
a mixed use development
provides 80 loft dwellings
ranging from 875 to 1,800 sf.
The seven story Tower
Lofts, bounded by Lincoln,
Belmont, Ashland and School
Street, is a ‘First Chicago School’
structure that had been
unsympathetically remodeled
during its tenure
as Wieboldt’s north
side department store.
Totalling 120,000 sf of
residential area, the project
focused on returning the building’s
exterior to the original clear
structural expression, including
meticulous replication of
numerous ornamental features and
details. Corrugated metal siding
was stripped from the
facade and replaced with new
windows and projecting steel
balconies. Sandblasted concrete
and masonry interior structure
provides a contrasting
framework for new construction,
complementing the original
character of the building.
Individual dwelling units
contain a Kitchen and Bathroom
core positioned to promote an
open loft environment. Enclosed
parking is located in the
Basement, while the 34,000 sf
First Floor is occupied by a
single commercial tenant.
29. The Harrison Street Lofts
Chicago, Illinois
The renovation of an existing
ten story industrial building
in Chicago’s Printer’s Row
neighborhood takes advantage
of the unique location in its
conversion to a fourteen story
residential loft development.
Four new ‘Penthouse’ floors were
added to the building, affording
spectacular unobstructed views of
Chicago’s south side. The
Harrison Street Lofts, bounded by
Harrison and Clark Streets,
provides 60 dwellings ranging
from 875 to 2,564 sf. Totalling
120,000 sf of residential area, the
project focused on restoring the
building’s original exterior detail,
while adding four terraced floors
in a sympathetic manner to the
structure’s clear structural
expression. Fire escapes, windows
and miscellaneous brackets, ducts
and flues were stripped from the
facade and replaced with new
windows and projecting steel
balconies. Exterior masonry
was chemically cleaned and
tuckpointed. Sandblasted
concrete and masonry interior
structure provided a contrasting
framework for new construction,
complementing the original
character of the building.
The new ‘Penthouse’ floors are
set back from the south facade,
giving every residence a large
private terrace. Each floor is
unique, with no two dwelling
layouts the same. Individual
dwelling units contain a
Kitchen and Bathroom core
positioned to promote an
open loft environment. Furnaces
are located in separate
mechanical rooms outside
the dwellings, eliminating noise
and wasted closet space.
Enclosed Parking is located
in the building’s Basement
and Second Floor, while
the 5,000 sf First Floor is
occupied by commercial tenants.
30. The Metalworks Lofts
Chicago, Illinois
Located on the corner of Diversey and Lakewood, a two story atrium
becomes the primary organizational element for this residential loft
renovation of a 32,000 sf industrial building. Reorienting attention
away from the busy urban setting, the sky-lit atrium establishes an
interior context for the arrangement of twenty residential units.
Sandblasted heavy timber and masonry structure provide a contrasting
framework for new construction, while retaining the original industrial
character of the building.
Individual dwellings are accessed off the main atrium and contain a
kitchen and bathroom core positioned to promote an open loft
environment. Existing heavy timber and masonry structure remains
exposed while frosted wire glass windows and glass block bring light to
the back of each dwelling from the atrium.
31.
32. Bungalow Renovation
Oak Park, Illinois
A 3,400 sf masonry single family
bungalow was renovated and
enlarged to meet the growing
demands of a young family. The
design expands into the existing
vacant attic and basement,
incorporating original stain
glass windows, architectural
woodwork and trim into a
contemporary and functional
sequence of flowing space.
Ground Floor living areas are
open to one another while
maintaining a sense of separation
with soffits, columns and
framed views. The front half
of the home, containing Living,
Dining and Music Rooms,
remains the formal portion
of the residence. The back
of the house acts as an
informal family gathering
area, enhanced by the open
adjacencies between Kitchen,
Family and Breakfast Rooms.
The Second Floor retains a greater
sense of privacy and contains new
Bedrooms and Bathrooms. The
Master Suite includes walk-in
closet, cathedral skylit ceiling and
a generous Bathroom with an
oversized tub. The Basement has
been redesigned to incorporate a
large, open play area, Bathroom
and adjoining Guest Room.

34. Commercial Office Building
4619 N. Ravenswood
Chicago, Illinois
The remarkable transformation of an ordinary
industrial/commercial building into a
contemporary office structure uses metal siding
and glass to achieve a transparent and dynamic
result. Structural expression and simple enlarged
forms articulate the facades with uncluttered
clarity. Interior space becomes flooded with
natural light, creating the opportunity
for maximum flexibility in interior design.
New mechanical, electrical and plumbing
systems ensure energy efficiency while
giving individual control to tenants.
Re-use of the existing structure, installation of
new insulated tinted glass and a new “cool’
roof contribute to make this project an
environmentally sensitive modern building.
36. 1340 North State Parkway
Chicago, Illinois
The meticulous restoration and addition to a
historic mansion in Chicago’s Gold Coast
provides for seven condominium dwellings
graced with the stately presence of the
original structure. Each dwelling is designed
with gracious rooms , abundant natural light
and private terraces or yards. Enclosed
parking is provided in the Basement.
The entire building was carefully restored to
its original state and fitted with the essentials
for modern living. The sculpted iron entry gates
and marble foyer were restored. A spectacular
hand carved wood staircase in the common
hallway was repaired. A center light court
was re-established, bringing natural
light into the depths of the building.
A new elevator was installed and all mechanical
systems were replaced. The result is an award
wining restoration of a home that recalls
the lifestyle of the early 1900’s brought
up to date for the next hundred years.
37. Mason Lofts
Oak Park, Illinois
Historic Preservation Commission of Oak Park Award, 2004
Vacant for 12 years, the former
Second Presbyterian Church built
in 1906 was renovated into four
dwelling units. Each dwelling is
configured as a loft townhome
with the addition of a mezzanine
level to increase square footage.
The living rooms feature sixteen
foot high ceilings and sky lights
as well as roof terrace gardens.
A major challenge to the
project involved reinforcing the
ground floor beam structure
to allow the incorporation
of parking in the basement.
Preservation and retaining
important historical features were
also goals of the development.
Mortar analysis was performed so
that the repointing of exterior
walls would match the existing
mortar in terms of color and
composition. Interior storm
windows were installed so as not
to interrupt the unique
fenestration pattern that is
a character defining feature
of the facade. The project
received an Honorable Mention
Award from the Village of
Oak Park for the sensitive
restoration of the building.

Chicago, Illinois
Chicago Landmark Award for Preservation Excellence, 2008
New Homes Magazine - “Chicago’s Best New Loft, 2007”
Located along the historic stretch of S. Michigan
Avenue known as Motor Row, the rehabilitation
of three historic buildings into 51 loft residences
brings new life to these previously
neglected structures. Freedom of space
and light prevail in the redesign of these
automobile dealership buildings. Originally
designed by Holabird & Roche and built
between 1911 and 1915, they now offer
extra-high ceilings, private outdoor areas,
upper level mezzanines and indoor parking.
The historic quality of the three buildings
is maintained through replication of original
widows and masonry details. Every detail
attempts to restore the original character of
the exterior to its original configuration
while also providing a comfortable and
inviting image for the new residential use.
The newly sandblasted heavy timber and
masonry interior construction compliments
the spacious loft environment of each
dwelling. Individual units contain a Kitchen
and Bathroom core while a number of units
take advantage of steel balconies, interior
courtyards and second story mezzanines.
Common roof decks are provided, giving
all residents access to exterior space.

Recipient: Motor Row Development Corporation
These three buildings are part of the Motor Row District on Chicago’s Near South Side, considered
to be the largest intact early “automobile row” in the United States. At its peak, as many as 116
different makes of automobiles were being sold on Motor Row. These three buildings were all designed
by the prominent architectural firm of Holabird and Roche—the corner five-story masonry building
was constructed in 1911 for the Cadillac Motor Car Company, while the three-story buildings were
constructed in 1915 for Alfred Cowles and for the Saxon Automobile Company respectively. The three
buildings were vacant when the developer purchased the property and converted the buildings into
52 residential units with interior parking and retail space. The project included extensive masonry
repairs, new windows, new storefronts, and rooftop additions, and also preserved a historic rooftop
water tank. The Motor Row District was designated a Chicago Landmark on December 13, 2000.

Ft. Sheridan, Illinois
Located in the center of the historic
Town of Fort Sheridan, the rehabilitation
of six historic buildings into 24 townhomes
brings new life to these previously
neglected structures. Freedom of space
and light prevail in the redesign
of these utilitarian buildings. Originally
designed by Holabird & Roche and built as the
cooking facilities in support of the adjacent
barracks, they now offer extra-high ceilings,
private outdoor areas, three levels of living
space and indoor parking. All dwellings have two
or three Bedrooms and two and one half Baths.
The historic quality of all six buildings
is maintained through replication of original
widows and masonry details. The new entry
porches employ salvaged brick that matches
the exiting building’s masonry. Every detail
attempts to restore the original character of
the exterior to its original configuration
while also providing a comfortable and inviting
image for the new residential use.
44. 2400 N. Lakeview Avenue
Chicago, Illinois
Two adjacent condominium
apartments were combined into
a single 2,500 sf residence in a
Mies Van der Rohe high rise
building overlooking Lincoln
Park and Lake Michigan.
Primary living spaces are
organized around an internal core
containing bathrooms, wet bar
and storage areas. The existing
kitchen expands to incorporate
a breakfast area within a
sculptural glass block wall.
The major living areas are
oriented towards views
overlooking the park and
lakefront. Curved soffits and
walls combine with glass block
and lighting highlights to
encourage a continuous spatial
flow. Primary materials include
marble and white oak flooring,
custom millwork, granite
counters and glass block walls.
45. The Drumlin Managenemt Company
Chicago, Illinois
A 3,500 sf loft space is the setting for the management
office of an expressive and adventurous developer. The
spatial composition of a colonnade detailed with
sheet metal, roof gutters and intersecting planes of various
heights and angles, establishes a formal axial plan. Private
offices and conference rooms are located directly off
the main axis, further articulating circulation and
office zones. Plywood wall paneling in the Conference
Room suggests a distinguished atmosphere while respecting
the existing context within the brick and timber enclosure.
46. Evanston Athletic Club
Evanston, Illinois
The renovation of an existing
storage building in downtown
Evanston, Illinois included design
of the 35,000 sf Evanston
Athletic Club. Incorporating a
10,000 sf Fitness Center, three
Aerobic Studios, a four lane
lap pool, full service locker
rooms and a rock climbing wall,
the project was a challenge to
remodel the old building
for the new intended use.
The Second Floor rock climbing
wall was cut through three
concrete floors and is 46 feet high.
Designed in association with
Ohlson Lavoie Corporation
in Denver, the EAC was
conceived with the intent of
becoming the flagship facility
for a growing chain of
Chicago area fitness centers.
Sandblasted concrete and masonry
interior structure provides a
contrasting framework for the
new construction, complementing
the original character of the
building. New specialized
mechanical and electrical systems
were installed throughout
for maximum efficiency
and minimum maintenance.
47. Kaleidoscope Imaging
Chicago, Illinois
A creative work environment
was required for a graphic
design company’s office space
at 700 N. Sacramento Blvd.
The 24,300 sf office includes
on-site design and production
space in addition to executive
offices, studios, workshop,
presentation and informal
employee gathering areas.
The solution was realized by
means of collaboration. The
Kaleidoscope team worked
closely with us to review several
versions of the challenging
program. We evaluated sizing,
location and organization in
order to deliver a unique and
compelling design that was both
imaginative and functional.
The newly sandblasted heavy
timber and masonry interior
structure compliments the
spacious environment. Partition
walls of various heights, angles
and colors further articulate each
area. Glass block allows light
to filter into internal rooms.
New mechanical and electrical
systems were installed, including
specialized systems necessary for
spray paint booth ventilation.
48. Residential Interiors
The renovation of a 1,500 sf
condominium in a masonry
high rise overlooking Lincoln
Park focuses on defining
and articulating sequences
of space within a two bedroom,
two bathroom dwelling. The
kitchen acts as a hinge
to the plan, linking the
entry with the circulation
gallery using floor tile, curved
counters and soffits. The kitchen
incorporates a breakfast bar
that opens to the stepped
wall gallery, giving the
perception of expanding space
towards adjoining rooms.
The living/dining area and
adjacent den are conceived as
formal rooms, complete with oak
chair rail, crown moldings and
built-in millwork. The contrast
of traditional bedrooms and
living rooms joined by the
gallery’s dynamic flowing space
gives each area distinct character
and enlivens the experience of
a compact dwelling. Primary
materials include oak flooring
throughout, oak trim, quarry
tile and glass block.
Two adjacent condominium
apartments in a luxury high
rise were combined into a
single 2,500 sf residence.
Occupying the southwest corner
of the building, primary concern
focused on reorganizing both
units into a single unified
configuration. A formal
colonnade links the foyer with
the main living area, establishing
a visual connection along the
major circulation spine.
The result is a continuous
spatial flow balanced by the
rhythm of the colonnade.
Primary materials include wood
flooring with inset marble and
carpet, custom millwork
cabinets, wood trim and
decorative plaster soffits.
