30 for 30: Trianon Lofts

As part of UrbanWorks’ 30th anniversary celebrations, we are featuring 30 projects from over the years that highlight our breadth of experience and passion for the built environment. Trianon Lofts is a four-story, mixed-use building in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood that includes 24 market-rate apartments above a 7,000-square-foot commercial space, aimed at rejuvenating the Cottage Grove Avenue corridor. The design, above the ground-level storefront, is influenced by the area’s traditional masonry structures. Its exterior showcases a subtly varied color pattern, distinct window placements, and integrated canted planter boxes, blending a harmonious facade with a modern touch.

Anderson & Associates, Dynacept Engineering, as well as our photographer Barbara Karant.
