The architects Massimo Alvisi and Junko Kirimoto describe the experience of encountering the space, as follows:“The moment you leave the elevators, you feel as if you were immersing yourself again in the city-at a different height and perspective, of course, but with your feet well planted in the streets of Chicago. It's precisely the city layout with its surprises that we strive to project within this space: we stroll through pieces of contemporary and oriental art, surprised occasionally by strong colors or the unusual skyscraper double heights, guided by the tight rhythm of the walls, the light and the visual axes.
Wooden walls, which are dematerialized in vertical slats to calibrate the degree of privacy and brightness, characterize the main lines of the project. These constitute the leitmotiv that accompanies the visitor through to the discovery of the Winter Garden, the beating heart of the project.
“From the structure of the Blues, a music that permeates the city of Chicago” the Architects continue,"we've taken the concept of "Tension and Release". The 3,60m ceiling height, extraordinary for an office, has allowed us to alternate suspended elements such as fabric panels, with sculptural elements resting on the floor and left at their original height. This compression and suspension game culminates in the volume of the Winter Garden: a unique space suspended in the city void, a material and tactile diaphragm that contains a space for art, events and meditation".
