Another fine addition to the Chicago architectural landscape by Adjmi: the brick detailing, massing, and scale is very appropriate to the neighborhood and as a precedent for good design.
bravo.
I really like this one a lot. It’s very refined and interesting but not overwrought. I know people are over the warehouse nouveau aesthetic but this particular example is very well done. Hopefully the execution is as good as the rendering.
I’m excited to see the final product!
