History
Projects & Approach
Pickard Chilton has worked on large-scale, mixed-use urban developments, that include office, hospitality, and public space components.[23] The studio designed the master plan for the Takanawa Gateway City in Tokyo, which includes office, hotel, and retail spaces.[24]
Several of Pickard Chilton's projects incorporate sustainable features: Avocet Tower and AC Hotel by Marriott includes high-efficiency air systems, bio-retention roofs, and EV charging stations,[25] while River Point in Chicago features low-flow fixtures and native landscaping on a 50% green roof.[26] In 2021, the firm added nearly 11-million-square-feet of new work to its existing contracts of 19-million-square-feet, including the Sherwin-Williams Headquarters in Cleveland[27]. The firm also designed 1144 Fifteenth[28] in Denver. Building Design+Construction included the project among its top 10 projects.[29]
