Walter E. Smithe Furniture

Oak Brook, IL     

The Walter E. Smithe Store in Oak Brook was a renovation of an abandoned (36,000 SF) Sears HomeLife Store.  The existing building had an unusual footprint (due to the site geometry), and was almost completely windowless.  The scope of this renovation included gutting the entire interior, adding windows along the perimeter of the building, and removing a large portion of the second floor & roof to allow for a skylight / monumental two-story stair atrium.
