CENTURY CENTRE TYPE OF PROJECT AREA LOCATION
Commercial 108,000 SF Chicago, IL
A once grand theater hall in the 1930s was converted into a shopping mall within the heart of Lincoln Park in the 1970s. After years of broken leases and lack of sustained usage, the structure required a mass interior renovation. The concept behind the
project was the torque like movement of a vortex in order to generate circulation and transition, stimulate program cohesion, and create unique, attention-grabbing forms & focal points to restore and renew a struggling commercial space.
