This mixed-use development is comprised of a dynamic arrangement of shifting masses encircling a continuous central atrium. The tower seamlessly integrates diverse functions, encompassing retail spaces, market-rate housing, a pod hotel, and a migrant welcome center. The project fosters meaningful connections among its varied uses and users through a thoughtful design that emphasizes rich interior spaces. 

​

The interplay between the atrium and the floor plate offsets results in the creation of a series of distinctive interior and exterior terraces. These spaces vary in size, noise levels, lighting, privacy, program, and user experience, contributing to the overall diversity within the structure. 

​

In relation to our site, Logan Square and each other, these strategically positioned terraces serve as vibrant backdrops for inhabitants to engage in a lively and enriching public life just steps away from their residences. 

​

Guided by the core concept of "Secured," our project delves into the dual nature of security—both as physical protection and as a network of connections. Recognizing that personal security relies on relationships and support systems, we aimed to strike a balance between insulation and connection, avoiding isolation.
