2015 Architectural Excellence Award

Adaptive reuse project, Grove Apartments in Oak Park, Illinois received The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Award for Architectural Excellence in Community Design by LISC Chicago. Originally designed as a car dealership by renowned industrial architect, Albert Kahn and constructed in 1927, the structure was transformed from a panelized concrete box to a 51-unit apartment residence with ground floor retail. With the addition of two floors, special care was taken to utilize the same materials as the original structure, including sourced Indiana limestone, compatible brick and beveled glass doors similar to those called for in Kahn’s original design.
