Eye-popping visuals for an uncommon home
As part of Silliman Group, Chicago, IL, in collaboration with Emily Hoogesteger, Interior Designer, under direction of Lindsey Philips, Art Director. Art fabrication by BluEdge. Photography by Tyler Mallory.
1400 East 57th Street is a seven-story residential building in Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago campus. Designed by Keck + Keck Architects in the 1950s, the unassuming 1400 is a surprising collage of two disparate architectural styles: mid-century modern and italianate.
Adapting 1400’s idiosyncrasies, the graphic strategy crosses 1960s fashion photography, Pop Art, and Op Art. Through public art, illustrated wallpapers, and signage, it expresses 1400’s eccentric personality to residents and neighbors.
