Project Description
Soho House Chicago opened in August 2014 as a 40-room hotel and private members club for the creative community. The transformation of a 107-year-old industrial building lasted 14 months. Soho House’s in-house design team and founder Nick Jones led the design, with additional support from the joint venture development team of Shapack Partners and AJ Capital Partners.
Soho House saved as much original material as they could — including the brick, the columns and even the lettering above the front door. Working with the Apogee Building Retrofit Team, it was determined the existing steel windows were beyond repair and nearly 500 new units from Apogee’s Wausau Window and Wall Systems would be installed to help maintain the historical detailing, while delivering modern-day performance.
