One Chicago
Design-build collaboration
EL Design provided the lighting for One Chicago, working closely with the developer to bring a clear vision and deep industry expertise to this landmark project. As a design-build collaboration, we took on a leading role—guiding fixture selection and shaping the overall lighting direction to align with the project's architectural ambition and functional needs.
To ensure alignment with the developer’s expectations, we conducted multiple mock-ups and engaged in hands-on coordination with the design team. This allowed us to evaluate aesthetic and performance factors in real-time, making thoughtful adjustments that upheld the design intent while meeting technical requirements.
Our approach combined high-quality results with budget-conscious strategies, delivering a lighting package that met the developer’s elevated standards. The project was completed with precision, on time and within budget—showcasing EL Design’s ability to balance design excellence with disciplined execution.
