While COVID-19 has driven us indoors and online, Chicago architects have still been bringing their visions to life around town. In this special edition of our Current Projects series, we spotlight exciting new works from the past year. This program is part of Open House Chicago 2021.

Local architects are continuing to remake Chicago at every scale and in every context, from the new hotel on Navy Pier to state-of-the-art office buildings in the Loop and affordable housing with a designer’s touch on the South Side.

Get the scoop from designers Jackie Koo (KOO Architecture) on the Sable Hotel, Juan Gabriel Moreno (JGMA) on the KLEO Art Residences in Washington Park, Lamar Johnson (Lamar Johnson Collaborative) on the Fulton East office tower in the West Loop and Ernie Wong (site design group, ltd.) on the 75th Street Boardwalk pop-up project in Chatham.
