Goose Island

Located on the North Branch of Chicago's Goose Island, the concept design for this 280,000 sf building involves the conversion of a former furniture factory into a destination office experience.

Taking inspiration from the building's original industrial style, the red brick facade is beautifully contrasted against the stunning glass atrium that connects the two structures, the steel floor-to-ceiling window frames, and the enclosed glass balconies.

At the ground level, the design incorporates a cafe concept with enormous garage-style windows that allow the indoor dining space to be extended outside.

Encouraging collaboration and relaxation, the interior gallery also consists of a variety of comfortable seating options, arranged in groups as well as single pods. All of these elements are continued into the exterior gallery, which includes additional seating and a refurbished train car.

Finally, an additional amenity space is located on the massive green roof, which includes a deck with various seating arrangements, boasting sweeping views of the Chicago skyline.

MA Design Studio

In early 2018, Myefski Architects made a momentous move from the Chandler's Building in downtown Evanston to the historic Wrigley Building in downtown Chicago. Situated between the Magnificent Mile and the Chicago Riverwalk, the new studio boasts spectacular views and plenty of natural sunlight.

When building out the new office, the goal was to create a modern workspace that promotes creativity and teamwork. The primary color and material palette feature classic neutrals with Quartz and French oak accents, providing a clean contrast to the cityscape backdrop.

The open studio was created out of what was originally the Allstate Insurance office suite, which also happened to be one the building's first tenants. The columns and ceilings were left exposed to reveal the original concrete structure. These elements are intermixed with new mechanicals, which celebrates their function and visibility.

First Insurance Funding

An extensive interior renovation was executed for this one-story 10,500 sf existing structure in a large suburban office park. The design fulfills the spatial needs of this growing financial services company and serves as a satellite for their primary facility located in a three building suite in the same office park. A complete consolidation and reorganization of several existing tenant spaces originally housed in the building allowed for new interior office spaces for three corporate divisions with ample conference and training facilities.

The reorganization extended to company culture as well, where workstation design and fewer private offices contributed to the open floor plan, promoting collaboration and improving daylight harvesting. Each division area is effectively isolated from the others, but connected by a central, curved spine. This inviting corridor doubles as an informal meeting area, housing a colorful internally illuminated backdrop of edge-lit resin panels suspended in a custom framework.
