| Abstract: |
A series of stepped terraces, with conversation benches at each level, connect the building to the street, and a prominently located social stair also connects to the rooftop terrace. With that very much front of mind for the design team on the Heron, the LEED Platinum- targeted building is designed as a resilience hub where residents can shelter in place during a crisis. An innovative hybrid typology, the Northtown Library and Apartments, collocates 44 units of affordable senior housing and a new branch library in a 65,000-squarefoot complex located in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Chicago.
