River Village Pointe
Chicago, Illinois

Located on a triangular site in the center of the Kingsbury Park re-development, River Village Pointe is a modernist seven-story glass and brick composition which takes it cues from the surrounding historic warehouse buildings. Taking advantage of its unique site, the acute corners are treated as glass curtain walls with a soaring, sloped roof, emphasizing its triangular shape and providing unique unit layouts. The horizontal expression of the masonry is contrasted with vertical bays of inset balconies with the roof appearing to float over the structure, providing clearstory windows to the penthouse level units. The lobby is pulled back at the corner creating a covered exterior plaza. The project includes 15% of the units as “affordable” was designed to LEED certification.
