| 910The Esplanade Apartments are two of the four buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe and built by Herbert Greenwald on Lake Shore Drive between Chestnut and Walton Streets. |  |
| The Esplanade Apartments were the first high-rise buildings designed by Mies to fully implement a continuous exterior curtain wall that was articulated separate from the building’s structural frame. This technology was used by Mies in all his future high-rise projects, including the celebrated Seagram Building completed in 1958, and has become the standard in modern high quality high-rise construction.
The fact that the buildings still require relatively low maintenance expenditures, is a testament to the brilliant, simple Mies design. |
