Dezeen recently sat down with Jahn's Philip Castillo, FAIA, to discuss the design evolution of 1000M, including the idea behind its iconic slope. Opened last month, the building is among the newest additions to Chicago’s skyline, marking the south end of the Historic Michigan Boulevard District.

We are honored to be collaborating with renowned sculptor Alice Aycock to realize her vision for a one-of-a-kind pavilion for Art Omi, a New York-based arts organization. Her design carefully blends art and nature, featuring a large glass roof designed to flood an interior studio space with natural light and reflect the sky. Sloping downward, the structure will seamlessly merge with the surrounding landscape. Trees will twist through strategically placed apertures, giving the appearance of the pavilion organically emerging from the ground. Inside, 5,000 square feet of exhibition space will showcase Aycock's remarkable sculptures. Our collaboration is one of 18 innovative pavilions, each designed in partnership with artists and collectors, that will eventually form the Art Omi Pavilions at Chatham in New York. Set across 190 acres, these pavilions will offer visitors an immersive experience, allowing them to explore distinct exhibitions curated by some of the world's most distinguished artists and collectors. This is not the first time we've worked together with Aycock. Her sculpture, Thunderdome (2018), greets visitors in the lobby of 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue, a Jahn building.

The red, white, and blue of the James R. Thompson Center resonates with the celebration of liberty and freedom that we celebrate today. Happy Fourth of July! 📷: Rainer Viertlböck #JahnArch #ThompsonCenter #4thofJuly

Last week, we led a group of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) members on a tour of the recently unveiled Pritzker Military Archives Center in Somers, Wisconsin. Thank you to our friends at AIA Wisconsin and AIA Chicago for the opportunity. #JahnArch

9 years in the making, 1000M held its grand opening last week. The building stands as a testament to exceptional design, engineering, and execution, expressing our firm’s belief that perfection can only be achieved when nothing can be taken away. Jahn is proud of the collaborative team that made this remarkable addition to Chicago’s lakefront skyline possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to our clients, Time Equities, Inc., JK Equities, and Oak Capitals, for entrusting us with this monumental project — the tallest building in Jahn’s Chicago portfolio. We are also grateful to our partners on the project, who made achieving this project possible: KARA MANN, McHugh Construction, McHugh Concrete Construction, Inc., and countless others.

Two of our firm’s leaders, Evan Jahn and Philip Castillo, were named to Newcity Design’s Design 50 2024, an annual list highlighting the continual evolution within Chicago’s design community through the creators of our city’s cultural scene. Writing about Jahn for the magazine, contributor Mary Wisniewski says, “The firm is used to big projects.” She points to the reconstruction of the James R. Thompson Center — a “favorite attraction for pedestrians in downtown Chicago this spring” — and highlights some of the design features and energy efficiency upgrades that the building will introduce. Congratulations to our fellow class of Design 50 honorees. Read more and see the full list: https://buff.ly/3VfJ76b #JahnArch #design #newcitymag 📸: Joseph A. Mietus / Newcity

This weekend, Jahn joined our client, local leaders, and community members to celebrate the opening of the Pritzker Military Archives Center in Somers, Wisconsin. The new facility consolidates the archival, restoration, and library mission of the museum into one facility, featuring an expansive gallery center where visitors can immerse themselves in military history. Inspired by the shape of World War II-era landing craft, the building’s exposed steel-frame structure is bright red—the color of courage. Jahn is proud to have been part of the collaborative team that brought our client’s vision for the Pritzker Military Archives Center to life. This Memorial Day, we commit ourselves to furthering the center’s mission of learning from past conflicts so we can help prevent future ones. Please join us in remembrance of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 📸: Final image in the series by Tom Rossiter #JahnArch #PritzkerMilitaryArchivesCenter #MemorialDay

We’re honored to have joined our client, JK Equities, for two recent tours of 1000M, which began welcoming its first residents this May. Thank you to the Chicago Architecture Center board of directors and the members of ULI Chicago for inviting us to share our design with you. 📸: Tour photos courtesy of Chicago Architecture Center #JahnArch #architecture #1000mchicago

Jahn is proud to celebrate the beginning of construction on the James R. Thompson Center. The redevelopment of this iconic building into Google’s new Chicago offices builds upon Jahn’s original vision for “a building for the future,” in which urban responsibility, technological achievement, and a commitment to sustainability are at the forefront. Pictured is a piece of glass from the original building, signed by members of our team who are working on the redevelopment project. #JahnArch #doersdarersdesigners #unboundedbyconvention #ThompsonCenter #Google #Chicago #chiarchitecture #sustainablearchitecture

Jahn was honored to join our partners from O2 Design at the WI ASLA awards event last month, where the Pritzker Military Archives Center received the Honor Award for landscape design in the General Large Scale Design category. The project’s landscape emphasizes ecological restoration, sustainability, and community benefits. It restores pre-settlement ecological habitat, incorporates stormwater collection, and offers public amenities like trails and event spaces. Reflecting military values, the site features a circular rampart with the museum at its center. Linear pathways and tree-lined boulevards overlay this pattern, paying homage to military order and discipline. 📸: tom rossiter faia #JahnArch #architecture #award
