Project Description
Located in the revitalized State Street District of Chicago, this brand new, 27-story, sleek hotel features a sloped roof and a "lighting bolt" design down the front of the building. The "Yellow Lightning Bolt" architectural feature varies in width as it begins from the bottom of the building to approximately a third of the way up on the building, where it reverses direction. About two-thirds of the way up the building, the bolt reverses again. All of the units were different sizes and shapes, making all of the glass lites unique.
