Designing to a net zero future
M Moser, Cogswell Realty, LLC, and Erol Stapleton, a long-time Chicago resident, are teaming up to create a unique experience in the heart of Chicago’s Fulton District. Set to open in 2026, this 115,000 sq ft building incorporates 3 floors of amenity space, over 100 rooms and a 4 seasons food and beverage rooftop experience.
As this project’s architect, designer and sustainability lead, we are dedicated to creating a hub for environmentally conscious living and community revitalisation. Incorporating innovative strategies for sustainability, health and wellbeing, it introduces social impact concepts to the vibrant Fulton Market neighbourhood, making it a one-of-a-kind destination.
The co-working space within the Circadian represents a forward-looking vision that integrates the future of travel, work and wellness. It’s a place that focuses on the synergy between the building design and the needs of travellers. Here, we’ve crafted a harmonious environment that caters to diverse needs —where work, relaxation and restoration connect.
