Perkins Eastman’s Chicago studio brings renewed energy to a historic building. Fully embracing the firm’s Human by Design ethos, employees take advantage of flexible sunlit spaces for easy collaboration or focused individual work. The perfect backdrop for a contemporary architecture office, Daniel Burnham and John Root’s Rookery Building yielded many artifacts, which are paired with innovative modern and wellness-oriented design elements throughout the space. Setting a standard for adaptive, sustainable design, the office is the first project in the state of Illinois to obtain WELL™ v2 Platinum Certification.
