This project introduces a modern restaurant addition to the facility, designed to serve not only XS Tennis members but also the broader Washington Park community and future developments in the area. The restaurant enhances the foundation’s ability to provide a holistic experience for its members and guests.
Alongside the new restaurant, the existing lobby, locker rooms, and member lounge are renovated to seamlessly align with the warm, clean, modern design of the new construction. On the exterior, design cohesion is further emphasized by extending an expanded metal mesh facade from the new construction across the existing building.
This project reinforces the foundation's mission by creating a space that not only supports its tennis and education programs but also fosters broader community engagement, serving as a vital resource for the south side of Chicago.
