We are proud to unveil Porter Apartments by Focus

We are proud to unveil Porter Apartments by Focus Development our latest project located just a few blocks from downtown Oak Park. Built by @boothhansen, Porter is situated in the heart of the Oak Park Historic District and overlooks the picturesque Mills Park.

Capturing the dynamic energy of jazz, Porter’s design is inspired by the syncopated rhythms and rich tones of this genre to create a design language. This approach not only celebrates Oak Park’s cultural legacy but also introduces a sophisticated blend of classic materials and contemporary elegance.

Porter features 158 thoughtfully designed residences, including 153 refined apartments and 5 distinct maisonettes with private entrances. Residents enjoy a suite of amenities that reflect comfort and convenience: from a state-of-the-art yoga studio and luxury fitness center to a sunlit sundeck with alfresco dining, grills, and a firepit.

The platform currently focuses on Oceans, Food & Agriculture, and Energy. With a “beginner’s” risk-taking mentality, the company seeks to create a culture that thrives on seeking unusual and innovative solutions to some of the most complex problems of our time.

This cutting-edge work lounge design reimagines traditional workspaces, offering individual cluster areas inspired by Chicago’s Riverwalk. Inspired by the “Jetty” on the Riverwalk and adorned with Chicago native wildflowers and grasses, integrated lights are scattered throughout the greenery to mimic fireflies, creating a magical ambiance. Walking through this space evokes the feeling of transitioning from the Riverwalk into a summer meadow. Shrouded seating groups mirror the enclaves of the river walk, while adjacent Creator Spaces like a barista bar and pizza kitchen add vibrancy and variety. The result is a dynamic and visually stimulating environment that seamlessly integrates nature, creativity, and functionality for a positive work experience. @pinterest

Beautiful new developments for @vizientinc ! Follo

Beautiful new developments for @vizientinc ! Following the acquisition of partner company Kaufman Hall, additional space was required to accommodate more employees. Kaufman Hall has been relocated to an additional floor at the @post433chicago conveniently connected to Vizient via an elevator.

The recently unveiled facility boasts lofty 17-foot ceilings, expansive windows offering breathtaking eastern and southern vistas, and a unique split-level configuration connected by an elegant staircase. Drawing inspiration from Chicago's architectural heritage and the historic Old Post Office, the space harmoniously blends industrial design elements with refined art deco accents and branding by @spark.chicago

Upon arrival, guests encounter a striking floor-to-ceiling mail chute, accompanied by a sophisticated coffee bar and a generous lounge area ideal for collaborative gatherings. The layout features thoughtfully appointed hoteling offices, a state-of-the-art boardroom, and an ADA-compliant lift ensuring seamless accessibility to the library and versatile cafe space on the upper level.

This refined setting underscores Vizient's commitment to fostering innovation, connectivity, and community within the workplace.

We are so excited to present the new @pinterest Chicago office! This social media giant’s workplace draws inspiration from the essence of everything Chicago. PBD, in collaboration with the Pinterest Design team, created the floor plan, covering approximately 19,000 square feet, to offer a curated experience that pays homage to the city’s iconic attractions and culinary delights. Each section embodies the city’s spirit, from a Chicago Pizza Parlor-inspired micro kitchen to a Riverwalk-themed work lounge and All-Hands space. The Navy Pier-inspired Executive Business Center and a Chicago-style Hot Dog IT help desk add a touch of local charm. With conference room spaces dedicated to Union Station, Chicago sports venues, music venues, and a public art crafting creator space inspired by the MART, the project fosters creativity and community. It redefines the traditional office, emphasizing collaboration, events, and maker spaces, all driven by a commitment to discovery, and inspiration. See link in bio for more.

Thank you to our collaborators for making this project shine!

It’s outdoor season and there is no better place

It’s outdoor season and there is no better place to be than a roof deck or patio. We’re showcasing a selection of some of our proudest deck and rooftop moments from past projects, including @121westwacker @jbgsmith @equityres and Navistar. Not only are these spaces beautiful they can also increase employee happiness through exposure to fresh air, biophilic elements, and community. Which one is your favorite?

Celebrating over 100 years of the iconic Chicago f

Celebrating over 100 years of the iconic Chicago flag! Designed by Wallace Rice, the flag's white bands represent the city's North, West, and South sides, while the blue stripes symbolize Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. The four stars honor key events in our history: Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire, the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, and the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition. Unique to Chicago, the six-pointed stars reflect our city's individuality. For this confidential tech client we worked with @spark.chicago to create an ode to the city’s flag made out of golf tees! Scroll through to see close ups of this intricate design.
