  Phrase 3 - 860-880 LSD

 Technology, globalization, and normalization are often considered as primary contributing causes to the growing gap between rich and poor in the United States. The wealth distribution has increased in recent years according to the clear statistics. When a city becomes more civilized, ones with low income have been pushed off from the city due to the higher cost of living. However, when the civilization reach the poor ones, they have to move back to where they left. Chicago is one of the cities in the US that has the highest rate of wealth divides.

 Mies and Beau is the practice formed to refurbish Mies’ creations in order to make them more adaptive with their surroundings and specific problems in their locations, like in Chicago, along with preserving Mesian features and introducing to Beau features. The practice focuses on city and context, equality, sustainability, and efficiency.

  860-880 Lake Shore Drive apartment in Chicago will be the first refurbishment project under Mies and Beau practice. We aim to refurbish this median to high income apartment into the apartment for Mesians with all income and change the inequality to equality. The refurbishment started with redesigning the floor plan layout. Some of the units become larger and some become smaller, the units varies from no living room to two living rooms. However, we do concern about people that still can not effort the smallest room in the building, so we came up with the payment and social system that the ones benefit others. The rooms are categorized by income, low, median, median-high, and high income, and each room has to pay for the room price and monthly payment such as insurance fees. This system benefits low and median income in the way that two of this room types do not have to pay for the full price. Instead, it charges from the median-high and high income room. 

  Mies and Beau also got a website which talks about the practice and more importantly, includes the information of people living in the building. The information could be about what a person is specialized for or a job that he or she is looking for. This would increase the opportunity for dwellers to have higher income and finally get moved to a bigger room and keep helping other Mesians.

  Another new feature is the Mesian balcony. The design is specialized for this apartment, it enhances the Mies’ columns by standing on the I-beam columns and having a I-beam and cross column structure. However, it increases the living space and extended the view of Lake Michigan. Colorful Mesian design spandrel and window fritting are also added to the building in order to make this 68 year-old building more lively and colorful.

Chicago-based architectural and design firm Vladimir Radutny Architects has renovated an apartment in the iconic 860-880 Lake Shore Drive complex designed by acclaimed German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. With intentions to accentuate both the building's architecture and unobstructed views across and over Lake Michigan - the apartment has been revived using a combination of a restrained palette, subtle textural finishes and styling that has been reduced down to the essentials. The 750-square-foot pied-à-terre is the second renovation that Vladimir Radutny Architects has completed in the modernist towers, which were completed in 1951 and have since been listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.
