To enhance the user experience and street presence, the first-floor slab was lowered to align with the existing sidewalk. This adjustment allows the commercial space to boast 15-foot-high ceilings and 14-foot-tall windows that extend to the ground, increasing light and transparency within the building. The first-floor commercial space is to be reclad in dark bronze metal with Chicago-style molding and new outdoor architectural lighting. The project also features a lively and modern residential lobby, featuring an open stair concept connecting the ground floor with the residential floors above, and repurposed skylights in two of the third-floor residential units to daylight home office spaces. The renovation of 1934 W North Ave is a dynamic addition to the area, contributing to the neighborhood’s lively atmosphere.
