Commercial Renovation
/Construction was finished earlier this month on this two-story commercial renovation in Logan Square.
We followed the principles of accessible design to bring the 2nd floor up to ADA standards, which included converting the existing freight elevator shaft into a new passenger elevator, renovating existing bathrooms to meet ADA code requirements, and ensuring exiting requirements are met throughout the building.
To prepare the 1st floor storefront for renting we removed the basement stairs from the center of the room, re-framed the floor, added hardwood flooring, and built a new basement staircase in the back of the building.
Before the City of Chicago filled in the ancient vaulted sidewalks in front of the building, we built a new wall inside the basement to separate it from the sidewalk vaults.
We also renovated the lobby to the 2nd floor office space and installed new skylights on the 2nd floor.
