Designed by NORR, the tower’s exterior combines glass and metal panels. The penthouse is characterized by a curve, and the podium features a kinetic wall, consisting of moving metal pieces responsive to wind. The main facade will incorporate dark metal frames around the glass panels.

I like it! For a squat square box it’s pretty interesting with the round, exposed core. I know the wind clappers are polarizing but I like them. Since Chicago is so windy is neat to see elements that recognize the wind and visualize it in the design, even if it’s jsut a parking garage.
Looks great!
Most accurately I’ve seen a glass project look like the renderings…bravo!
The podium actually looks digital from a few blocks away. I’m excited to see it up close. It’s a gorgeous building!
banal black box
ignorant of its environment
