Completion:

Description:
Keeping with Crate & Barrel's crisp and white aesthetic that started with downtown Chicago's flagship store, their corporate headquarters in suburban Chicago is a composition of white metal panels, white brick, and glass. The L-shaped building sits on 24 acres of wooded land, a large parking area north and west of the building.
The east side is devoted to controlled scenic views from within the offices to the site's greenery. This area helps screen the building from busy Waukegan Road.
