Clybourn Lofts

Horwitz/Matthews
63 Units, 6 Stories
Chicago, IL

A turn of the century piano factory and accessory buildings are transformed into 63 residential lofts. A brightly colored steel super-structure arises from the garden as a framework for exterior terraces and a new identity within the visual tapestry of the industrial neighborhood. A recurring theme of industrial/residential contradiction is expressed through the innovative use of materials and forms.
