At Magellan Development Group, we are known for giving the residents of our properties amazing amenities such as pristine pools and accommodating fitness centers, as well as an extraordinary location in the heart of downtown Chicago. But now in addition to this, architect Jeanne Gang has helped us uncover a way to bring our beautiful Chicago townhomes into the exciting world of local art.
She and her team have recently completed the design for the interior of one of Aqua Tower’s nine park-level townhomes, which now doubles as an art gallery highlighting the pieces of seven Chicago artists. These artists include Rodney Carswell, Jeffrey Cote, Dan Devening, Jin Lee, Christine Tarkowski, Fraser Taylor and Lonney White, each of whom was chosen based on their strong connection to the Chicago art world.
Paintings, photography, sculpture, and collage are all featured in this new Aqua Parkhome. Each work is aimed to evoke ideas about water, test perceptions of scale and material, and draw upon architectural themes such as issues of space and place, just like Aqua’s design does within the skyline of Chicago.
The pieces range in price for $900 to $12,500. Studio Gang’s Aqua design earned them the highly-esteemed international Emporis Skyscraper of the Year Award for 2009, showing everyone that not only are these townhomes architecturally outstanding, but also functional for all. Located in the exciting community of Lakeshore East, this newly designed Chicago townhome is right in the middle of a thriving neighborhood.
Taking advantage of our hip new “art gallery” is just one of many great opportunities offered to Lakeshore East residents. If you’re looking for a Chicago townhome that is close to all the excitement of the city and if engulfed in its culture, there is no place better to look than Aqua’s Parkhomes!
