Project Description
Positioned on the prominent southeast corner of Grant Park, One Museum Park’s blue-and-gray glass façade echoes the setting of open sky and reflective waters. A series of stepped, curved terraces rise up the flanks of the structure, slowly receding to reveal the building’s soaring core which culminates with an illuminated silver elliptical peak that seamlessly conceals mechanical components.
One Museum Park West’s unique proportions derive from its organically shaped floor plate. The soft green-silver glass and gentle form provide counter balance to the kinetic expression of its western edge as it rises into a spiral-shaped steel and glass wall crown. Shaped balconies “stitch” the building together with its contrasting glass window railing system.
