The project’s two sibling towers serve to anchor the southern leg of the celebrated Museum Park / Central Station residential Lakefront community.
At street-level, the base of Tower I incorporates seven, two-story townhomes clad in aluminum metal panels, that serve to both activate the streetscape and to screen the 264 car garage. Above this base, the structure is composed of two volumetric masses; the larger of which is clad almost entirely of glass windows overlaid with a bold red grid framework to accent and reinforce the ordered façade. In contrast to this glass curtainwall, stands a taller, tower-like volume with large rectangular punched openings, providing a firm anchor for the compostion. The gently sloped top edge of these two volumes completes the building’s striking silhouette along Chicago’s lakefront.

Tower II, a taller, mirror-image interpretation of Tower I, completes the bold silhouette of Museum Park Place, taking full advantage of the unobstructed views of Chicago’s lakefront, Soldier Field, and Museum Campus to the East.
