This block-long, 5-story mixed unit development is found at the historic center of the Bridgeport neighborhood in Chicago. Volumetrically partitioned in elevation and with setbacks at the second floor, this large structure maintains a comfortable human scale. A precise architectural vocabulary of stone and brick establishes and maintains a clear identity across the project. Large overhangs at key parapets anchor the project into the site and add to its Midwest character. Retail parking is hidden behind the building but obviously accessed by pedestrians through a large vaulted passage flanked by shops. The ground perimeter fully active with retail in combination with a substantial residential density above and crafted architectural detail creates the appropriate and substantial edifice required for this important urban location.
