The Fynn is a one-of-a-kind development for Elmhurst, Illinois, creating a modern luxury building that fits within the overall aesthetic of the neighborhood.

Architecturally, BKV Group was able to reduce the structure’s perceived density through the addition of a second-level courtyard that allows for more open space along Addison Avenue – creating more curb appeal. The community also has two levels of belowgrade parking, which further activates the streetscape. While the building’s frame was created using cold-formed steel, the building itself is composed of masonry, fiber cement panels, and simulated wood panels with the urban design aesthetic carries through to the property’s interior, where a mix of warm and cool materials, including textured woods and mixed metals, create sleek spaces throughout the building.
