OKW's sixth Women Build with Habitat for Humanity Chicago is in the books! Our amazing team donned our hard hats and positive attitudes on Saturday and got to work in Greater Grand Crossing. This year, we were in the garage, in charge of trim, siding, and corner boards. Thanks to beautiful weather and eager future homeowners on site, it was a fun and meaningful build day. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our team this year. Fundraising is open until October 26th; help us reach the finish line! https://lnkd.in/eZqAkSR2 #okwomen #habitatforhumanity #okwarchitects

We were on site on Wednesday with Harlem Irving Companies, T2 Capital Management, and Hamilton Partners for the ribbon cutting of HQ Residences, Mount Prospect's newest multifamily development. Across the street from the Metra station (and sporting architecture by OKW), the 80+ units of luxury residences are already adding to the growing energy and enthusiasm for the northwest suburb. Congratulations to the team for bringing this project to life! #architecture #design #multifamily #housing #mountprospect #okwarchitects

Our friends and collaborators at Valenti have shared some insight into the construction process for our mutual client Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook. Together, we are helping YSGN expand their services by adding a new entry volume to their existing center. This addition will add more therapy rooms, which will allow the organization to serve more of the community's children and young adults. We're looking forward to this one finishing by the end of the year! #architecture #design #okwarchitects
This summer we broke ground on a critical expansion and renovation project for Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook. Our #nonprofit client has just one goal, which is “to foster the social and emotional wellbeing of children and youth.” YSGN offers various programs including counseling, crisis intervention and socialization groups. Adding new volume to their existing building will support additional therapy rooms and the expansion of services. The structure and shell of the addition are complete, and our teams are now working through exterior finishes, sitework, and the interior renovation. We’re proud to execute this build, but even more so to champion this client and project by minimizing costs, maximizing value, and working with their board and community members to secure/utilize donated materials. With a December delivery in sight, the reimagined building will serve as a valuable asset to YSGN and the families they serve. An honor to partner alongside this local organization, as well as with architect, designer, and long-time friend, OKW Architects. #Valenti #constructionmanagement #buildchicago

Our construction partners at BIG Construction shared a glimpse into a recently completed office renovation in the Loop. Keep tabs on BIG and OKW for new imagery of this space, which used a curated array of materials and large, curved movements to create an elegant space with lots of personality. #architecture #design #interiordesign #corporateinteriors #okwarchitects
Building our client- and the architect's vision starts from day one, working with all of our project partners to ensure the finished spaces align with the original design intent for results like this law office in its final construction stages.

If summer is going to stick around, then we might as well rock the shorts a little longer. In the last 48 hours, we got together in Little Village in support and sponsorship of our client New Life Centers for El Grito 5k, and followed that up with Presbyterian Homes' Geneva Foundation golf outing in Highland Park. We are proud to support two great organizations serving communities in need, whether they are youth in Chicago's south and west sides, or financially vulnerable older adults. (And kudos to Neil for absorbing two days' worth of Vitamin D!) #okwarchitects

When you and your client are aligned in believing that everyone deserves good design, you end up creating wonderful spaces for people from all walks of life. These three bars are in different offices across two states but serve as thoughtfully-designed gathering places for anyone across the organization.
