900 W RANDOLPH
Revitalizing Fulton Market’s Historic Heart
Chicago IL
This transformative adaptive re-use project breathes new life into eleven turn-of-the-century warehouse and manufacturing buildings in Chicago’s iconic Fulton Market District. Spanning two to four stories, the reimagined spaces seamlessly blend heritage and modernity—delivering 46,000 sq. ft. of vibrant retail and dining venues alongside 45,000 sq. ft. of dynamic workplace environments.
The design vision focused on creating an engaging pedestrian experience, highly visible storefronts, and distinctive corporate lobbies and amenities—all while preserving the district’s historic character.
Despite challenges such as hidden windows, deteriorated structures, and vaulted sidewalks uncovered during construction, the team of architects, engineers, and preservationists responded with agility and innovation.
900 W Randolph is a landmark destination that honors its industrial past while shaping the future of this rapidly evolving neighborhood west of the Loop
ASSEMBLE
Elevated Spaces Inspire Creativity
Agile Prototype
In the historic Otis Elevator building—an architectural gem designed by Daniel H. Burnham in 1911—the design team partnered with Assemble Shared Office to create a workspace that celebrates industrial heritage while embracing modern functionality.
Original features such as exposed concrete floors and brick and clay tile walls set the tone for an authentic, industrial aesthetic. Defunct manufacturing equipment was thoughtfully integrated as design elements, while glass partitions maximize natural light and foster visual connectivity, creating an open, collaborative atmosphere.
Strategic interventions—including new windows and ramps—activated previously unused areas and navigated the building’s three distinct floor levels. Precise coordination of design, MEP, FP, and structural systems ensured a seamless build-out in this complex clay tile structure.
Assemble is a dynamic workspace that honors history, inspires creativity, and connects people.

AMC
Believe Achieve
Chicago IL
AMC set out to create an office environment that embodies its core values and fosters energy and collaboration. Engaged early in the process, the design team assessed AMC’s existing space, developed programming and space requirements, identified ideal locations, and guided building tours for lease opportunities.
Through interactive workshops and employee questionnaires, the team gained deep insight into AMC’s workflows and built consensus on the vision.
The design concept drew inspiration from AMC’s new logo—a series of arches—transforming it into a signature motif. Flowing from the elevator lobby through reception and conference rooms into collaborative hubs, these arches define the 43,000 sq. ft. workplace as a vibrant, unified expression of AMC’s culture.
SIGNATURE OFFICE CENTER
Flexible and Furnished
Chicago IL
Located at 33 S. Wabash in Chicago’s central business district, the Loop, this 30,000 square foot co-working space was designed to appeal to both private office dwellers and co-working entrepreneurs.
Capitalizing on the spectacular lake view, the design incorporated a stylish yet unpretentious, modern yet established aesthetic. The fully appointed collaborative café allows for incidental interaction, group eating areas and a casual atmosphere. The more private Bourbon Room provides a relaxed yet luxurious area for deal making or unwinding.
The most challenging aspect of the project was the need to work within very specific building parameters for the elevator lobby build out and the detailing the building perimeter engagement with new interior construction. With careful coordination, the design team developed a series of approved details to create perimeter offices and co-working spaces. A very low bank of ductwork informed the team of where to place tenant amenities and corridors
