2700 Hampton Court, Chicago, Illinois

The primary unifying element of the space is a circular foyer which simultaneously joins and defines all adjacent spaces. A black granite gallery hallway pierces the circumference and narrows as it transverses the full breadth of the interior, increasing ones sense of depth of space through the use of forced perspective. From this vantage point one may take full benefit of the magnificent panoramic views of the city.

In addition to the open views and smooth curved planes, polished stone and other reflective surfaces further contribute to the feeling of spaciousness. Custom soffit lighting and designer fixtures offer yet another dimension to this meticulously designed space.

This project was featured in a 1996 exhibit titled Architecture in the Public Realm.
