EWP Architects Introduces Chronicle: A New Era of Design
EWP Architects, a notable name in architecture and interior design, has taken a significant step forward in the realm of interior spaces with the launch of its latest studio,
Chronicle. Nestled in the heart of Chicago, Chronicle is dedicated to crafting immersive environments brimming with narrative, bridging the gap between functional spaces and emotional experiences.
Over the years, EWP Architects has garnered recognition for its innovative and client-centric approach to design. With the unveiling of Chronicle, the firm takes its commitment to human-centered design to new heights. According to
Brett Polich, AIA, Managing Principal of EWP Architects, "Chronicle represents the next chapter in our design evolution – one that's deeply personal and focused on the human experience of space. Great architecture is more than aesthetics; it’s about the feelings a space evokes. Chronicle allows us to explore that idea in new ways."
A Focus on Human-Centric Design
Chronicle is spearheaded by a talented team comprising Brett Polich, Kelly Castellano, AIA, Principal, and Jessica Reuther, NCIDQ, Director of Design. Each of them brings years of expertise and a profound dedication to creating spaces that resonate with people. The studio's mission revolves around understanding clients' stories and translating them into spaces that are both functional and captivating.
With a primary focus on
hospitality spaces, Chronicle's offerings range from beautifully designed lobbies and amenity spaces to inviting cafés and clubs. The studio also takes pride in creating wellness environments and retail spaces that foster a sense of connection and tranquility.
Chronicle's inaugural portfolio showcases an array of projects that enhance not only the aesthetics but also the functionality of spaces. The studio meticulously considers every aspect, from the dance of light across varied textures to the choreography of movement within each area, ensuring that their environments leave a lasting impression long after visitors have departed.
Emphasizing the Importance of Collaboration
Every project at Chronicle begins with a simple yet powerful principle:
listening. This foundational approach allows the design team to grasp the individual needs, aspirations, and stories of each client. "Chronicle is about translating those stories into meaningful design experiences. We focus on the details, as they possess the transformative power to elevate connections made within a space, be it for work, relaxation, or socialization," affirms Jessica Reuther.
The studio operates under the EWP Architects umbrella while maintaining close collaboration with the firm's architectural team, ensuring that every project benefits from a holistic and coordinated design approach. This unique working model enables Chronicle to deliver a
specialized and highly personalized service to its clients, infusing each design with intention and purpose.
Future Endeavors and Vision
As Chronicle embarks on its journey, the studio is committed to pushing the boundaries of interior design. Its philosophy revolves around creating environments that are not just visually appealing but also inherently meaningful. By collaborating with developers, operators, and brand owners, Chronicle aims to design spaces that reflect their clients' visions while ensuring they feel alive and intentional.
