This office and studio space for a prominent product and packaging design firm is located in the top three floors of a renovated sixteen-story vintage Michigan Avenue office building. Consideration for the duality of the business versus creative aspects of this company and the ease of communication between floors prompted its architectural solution. Sophisticated corporate imagery meets “loft” like studio space with a common theme of white translucent panels in an industrial metal frame. Two new stairways of open steel construction provide dramatic counterpoints and lead users and visitors to mystical “idea rooms” situated beneath skylights thrusting through the roof.
