Clocking in at a dizzying 101 stories, this Chicago waterfront hotel will be the city’s third-tallest tower and the tallest building in the world designed by a woman (architect Jeanne Gang). Admire mesmerizing views of the river, Lake Michigan and the rest of the city from the 191 bespoke guest rooms.

Our architects conceived a vertical village concept for the exterior facades. Working – Eating – Relaxing and Living are areas uniquely identified from the outside. It was also essential to engage with the community and facilitate spaces for art and expression, using the parking floor as a giant canvas. As a result, we created what we like to call a Bohemian industrial pop revival building.

The interior design becomes an extension of the brand and the facade. On the first level, we developed three areas: A restaurant and bar, a lobby for the living units, and a co-working space. All spaces connect in an expansive double-high promenade and atrium in the front, forcing social interaction and promoting an active and dynamic environment. All the interiors fishes include simple materials and a neutral natural palette with splashes of color in strategic areas. The furniture is simple, modern, and fun.
