THE CAFE’ :

The program called to relocate an existing Starbucks shop in McCormick Place and design a 4,500 sq.ft cafe’ to serve large crowds during conventions with a grab ‘n’ go checkout station, full service kitchen and several different seating options. Due to 14 ft. ceilings, the design of the ceiling elements became a large focus. Undulating soffits and carefully placed light fixtures were designed to create visual interest. Collaborating as a team, we designed seating, lighting and floor pattern layout. While working on construction documents, I carefully detailed casework and millwork soffits and reviewed shop drawings prior to construction.

In order for our client to occupy the space, it was a requirement that access be provided from the main hallway to the cafe’. From our site measurements of existing bridges and railings, our team was able to replicate existing conditions. I worked through millwork details of the new railings and coordinated with our structural engineer on the support of the bridge. 05

A CLASSIC BRICK BUILDING :

The Chicago Community Kollel is a religious place of study for young orthodox jewish men who wish to become rabbis. The Kollel’s growing congregation required more space for study, worship and work. Respecting the integrity of the original brick building, our team designed additions to accommodate the client’s needs. Working with brick and limestone became the highlight of this project. Our team worked through severalmasonry wall, archway, pier and window sill details to achieve a cohesive, elegant design. Construction and bid sets were assembled for full permit submittal to the city of Chicago. Construction is scheduled to start at the end of summer 2015.

LOUNGE BY DAY, PARTY BY NIGHT :

The Faculty and Alumni Board for the University of California, San Diego Campus, wanted to create a multi-functional space that could serve as both a casual lounge by day and an upscale restaurant by night for alumni gatherings. Our team proposed a seamless design where the bar extended from within the space and wrapped onto the outdoor porch. Major design elements included the folding glass partition wall which could easily close the space off or open the space up. The final design brought ingenuity into a former under-utilized space.
