An interesting new construction in River North caught my eye the other day: 156 West Superior is a boldly modern condo midrise whose facade is defined by its beautifully exposed structural frame, metal screen walls, and a sheer glass curtain that opens the units to the outside world. The building was designed by award-winning Seattle-based architects Miller-Hull, who are bringing their unique contemporary aesthetic to Chicago for the first time. Certainly a commendable design in a sea of banal bland beige boxes all over the near North side.
