National Fashion Design Headquarters

Chicagoland

 

With its previous incarnation as a private garage for a doctor’s vintage car collection, the space required a significant make-over for a designer sportswear company. The 10,000-square-foot project was also expanded to include an adjacent 5,000-square-foot building.

The single-story corporate office’s functions include the creation of patterns and the manufacture of prototypes for a high-end clothing line.

Significant steps in the restoration and rebuilding effort included a façade restoration, the removal of giant load-bearing walls, and installation of a sprinkler system to accommodate the two different buildings.
