The design challenge for this condominium complex on Chicago’s Near West Side was to create a vocabulary that is residential and contemporary yet fits in with the context of old industrial buildings and lofts. The jury applauded the design, calling the project "a good urban statement, nicely broken down in scale." The buildings come right out to the sidewalk and relate to their surroundings with red brick, masonry, and large areas of glazing. Pushing the buildings to the perimeter of the site freed up a third of an acre for a park-like interior courtyard. The façades are enlivened with terraces, balconies, fenestration changes, and a materials palette that includes brick, metal panels, and painted steel. Parking is hidden under the buildings and garden, and the garage ventilation shafts are incorporated into the design as towers from which the entrance canopy is suspended.
