Project Description

We set out to provide a shaded, weather-protected entry zone for the residents of The Algonquin complex in Chicago. The new design adds depth, scale and interest to the facade while creating a meaningful threshold between the interior and exterior. Improved landscaping, iconic address signage, and new exterior lighting were also introduced. This clean design compliments the existing building skin with a clean material juxtaposition.
