1460 N Halsted

Chicago, Illinois

Across from NEWCITY is Blackhawk on Halsted, a medical, office, and retail building built in 2009. As tenants considered whether or not to extend or expand existing leases, the owners decided it was time for a refresh.

To create a dramatic statement in a narrow space, we opened up the lobby to create a nearly triple-height volume. The new lobby is a sophisticated concept that relies on tried-and-true materials and colors, with curved edges on the desk and the seating echoing the building's architecture and branding.
