Casa Guanajuato

Chicago, IL

2002

This tall, narrow stone clad building in the historic Pilsen neighborhood was carefully restored and renovated to provide six new affordable family apartments. The existing interior stair was renovated and a new exterior, steel porch and exit stair were added in order to provide the required exiting from all of the apartments in this tight layout. The resulting units are designed to take advantage of the fact that the building has light from three sides, which gives these tightly planned units a bright, open feeling.
