Two four-story housing blocks frame a shared courtyard opening out onto the North Lombard thoroughfare. The buildings’ character is given by continuous wrap-around balconies that create deep relief and articulation, while offering generous covered private outdoor space to residents. All vertical and horizontal circulation is around lushly planted courts open to the sky. Clad in perforated weathering steel, the buildings change in transparency throughout the day, allowing varied glimpses of the diverse life within.
Building upon experience with our friends and development partners, with an increase in scale, apartment types, and a mix of market rate and affordable housing at a much needed time for our city, this project is in development with an anticipated construction start in late 2025.
