SKYlofts (4-live/work lofts) 1629 oak st., evanston, IL

PROJECT UPDATE (7.9.2013):


This is our first new construction venture into downtown evanston. Initially, the existing 2 story frame building will be demolished. We are replacing it with (4) 1,600 SF live/work units. Due to site and code constraints, the entire project is “elevated” to the 2nd floor. Many of the ideas from our previous adaptive re-use project at 604 davis have been incorporated into this project. Units can be combined or shared for multiple uses.  


In keeping with our previous projects, energy efficiency, daylighting and natural ventilation, “sensible” green design and flexibility to adapt to future technologies are incorporated in the design.

  1. You write your construction emphasizes "... energy efficiency, daylighting...". Apartments raised above an area exposed to outside weather conditions (especially in winter) are generally very difficult to keep warm. Also where does this "daylighting" come from with so much opaque coverings?
