Historic LondonHouse in downtown Chicago underwent an extensive renovation, starting in 2013. The transformation of this luxury hotel, completed for a grand reopening in May 2016, included insulated metal panels from Metl-Span.
“The renovation consisted of adaptive reuse of the existing building and a new 22-story glass tower addition on the adjoining property,” says Randall Chapple, AIA, SE, CSI, CCS, LEED AP, associate principal at Goettsch Partners Inc. of Chicago. “The goal was to create a boutique five-star hotel from the existing London Guarantee & Accident building. The building anchors one of the corners at the Michigan Street Bridge. Our goal was to breathe new life into the existing building and provide an addition that would complement the existing building. The location provided the opportunity to create an outstanding entertainment space on top of the building.”
