PROJECT EXPERIENCE
HOERR SHAUDT 1555 W FULTON ST.
HOERR SHAUDT
AIA CHICAGO’S LERCH BATES PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS 2025 Office Finalist
Building out Hoerr Schaudt’s office in Fulton Market neighborhood was an inspiring adaptive reuse endeavor. The project centered around transforming a historic, 14,600-square-foot industrial building into a modern headquarters that embraced both sustainability and the firm’s design ethos. Retaining and patching the building’s original concrete floors, exposing brick walls, and salvaging steel doors and beams required careful dismantling, preservation, and skillful re-integration. Special attention went into maximizing natural light by adding skylights and an interior courtyard, drastically reducing electrical demand through thoughtful planning and all-LED, smart-controlled lighting. The interior space was crafted to support fluid, collaborative work for design and siteworks studios, with break-out areas, private phone booths, and a welcoming kitchen designed for gatherings. We collaborated closely with Hoerr Schaudt to use repurposed materials wherever possible, reducing environmental impact while maintaining a high level of finish. The new courtyard, set for further development in summer 2024, showcased the firm’s landscape expertise and provided a lush, functional escape for occupants. Witnessing the transformation of this industrial space into a vibrant, creative hub—while minimizing waste and honoring the building's heritage— was a professional highlight for all involved.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
PARTNERS BY DESIGN 363 W ERIE ST.
PARTNERS BY DESIGN
Renovating the Partners by Design office was a complex and rewarding endeavor. The project involved reconfiguring approximately 17,000 square feet to create a modern, innovative workspace that reflects the firm's architectural and design ethos. Key challenges included integrating creative environmental branding and custom millwork, while ensuring the space remained flexible and functional for both collaborative and private work settings. Attention to detail in finishes and materials was critical to achieve the high aesthetic standards expected from a top design firm. Coordination across trades was essential to seamlessly implement advanced lighting, mechanical systems, and durable yet refined surfaces within the constraints of the existing office shell. The renovation demanded thoughtful scheduling to minimize disruptions and maintain project timelines. Overall, the project exemplified how precise construction management and focus on quality help deliver a cuttingedge office that supports creativity, collaboration, and functionality—hallmarks of Partners by Design’s brand and client experience.

79 W. MONROE The 79 W. Monroe project involved the careful adaptive reuse of the historic Rector Building, constructed in 1905. The team transformed seven floors of office space into 117 modern residential units while preserving key architectural features like brick masonry, terracotta details, and historic wood windows. We worked closely with preservationists to maintain the building’s integrity while upgrading systems for energy efficiency and modern living. The project also added high-end amenities, including a rooftop deck and fitness center, demonstrating precision and respect for this landmark’s legacy.
EMERSON GROUP Renovating the Emerson Group office involved meticulous planning and execution.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
DENTON LAW 7272 E INDIAN SCHOOL RD.
NEED TO KNOW
The Denton Law Office renovation required detailed tenant improvement work tailored specifically for a professional legal environment. This project involved careful planning and seamless coordination to create office spaces that balance daily functionality with an elevated sense of sophistication. The design emphasized elegant finishes, refined materials, and modern upgrades that align with the firm’s established reputation. Among the key challenges were integrating contemporary lighting systems that improve comfort and visibility, selecting durable yet polished materials suited for a high‑traffic setting, and optimizing the overall layout to enhance workflow efficiency. Equal consideration was given to ADA compliance and accessibility, ensuring the office supports all staff, clients, and visitors. By focusing on both aesthetics and practicality, the renovation delivered a workspace that reflects the firm’s credibility, enhances productivity, and creates an inviting atmosphere. The result is a professional, polished environment that supports Denton Peterson’s long-term business needs.

TODD DAVIES
It is a great pleasure of mine to recommend at the highest level I possibly can, 41 North Contractors for general contractors and construction work. The museum has been contracting with 41 North for more than the past eight years, and will continue based on their current and previous performance. On time and on budget are cliché used in our business way too often, but aptly applies to 41 North, plus a lot more. They become a partner, not just a vendor. They offer a complete array of general contractor services and manage the trades working simultaneously to the benefit of the client. They provide quality workmanship and very strong leadership for our construction projects. ...41 North stands up to the challenge and gets the work done without impacting our guests. 41 North is also very good at having a plethora of people offer advice but does not miss a beat with the challenges thrown at them.
TIM CANNING Principal Owner of Foxtail Restaurant Group Over the past five years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with 41 North Contractors on multiple projects. Their unwavering commitment to quality and professionalism is evident from the initial design phase through to project completion. Their meticulous attention to scheduling and coordination has consistently ensured smooth execution and timely delivery.

NICK LIAROMATIS Co-Founder & Chief Legal Officer at Terrabis
41N is the best, truly. They are the most dedicated, hardworking, caring, competent contractors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There is nothing they cannot fix, repair or build! If they have not done it before, no problem they will find away and relish in the endeavor of learning something new. I have worked on countless projects with them from small remodels to 14,000 sq. ft. ground up buildings and have never felt in better hands regardless of the scale of the project. I cannot recommend them enough, they are not only fair but truly have never let us down when it comes to deadlines or timing. A true gem in the field of construction.
