Jahn/ lines a residential building in Chicago Michigan Avenue
Presented by Phillip Castillo, FAIA, Excecutive Vice-President/Managing Director Jahn/
A quick scan of the Chicago skyline reveals a sea of glass curtain wall towers. For 1000M, a new residential building in the Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Jahn set out to design a building that sets itself apart from this monotony. The facade of the 805-foot tower was faced with a unitized curtain wall that was further articulated by mill finished aluminum spandrels. A “cut” through the building’s center accentuates the shift in the shape of the floor plate from a rectangle at the base to a parallelogram at the top.
