Sunday Jaunt

On the way into work this fine Sunday I snapped some photos of recent residential buildings between the train stop and the office.





Small - 7-story residential/retail in River North, architect unknown.





Medium - The Contemporaine by Perkins and Will





Large - The Sterling by Solomon Cordwell Buenz





X-Large - Grand Plaza by OWP&P



These projects indicate that Chicago's residential architecture is improving, but it still has a way to go before it abandons the developer-driven, painted concrete shame and its indelible mark on the skyline.
