Enlace Chicago Headquarters

Canopy designed Enlace’s Chicago headquarters in Little Village to embody the essence of the surrounding community while exuding a modern and welcoming architectural style. The new 3-story building uses materials common to the neighborhood—brick and glass block—and applies them in innovative ways to create a new and inviting, yet contextual, aesthetic. The building features operable glazed panels that open the interior spaces to the street to strengthen the relationship between Enlace and the community, while blurring the relationship of interior and exterior. A roof deck, computer lab and interior multi-purpose spaces provide additional flexibility to accommodate a variety of programs that address the needs of both the community and organization.
