Finally design would merge with construction. His first project being the Lakeshore Apartment Buildings in Chicago.
The scheme consists of two identical 26-story towers placed 46 feet apart with their long axes set perpendicular to each other. While each building alone is symmetrical, comprised of 21’ square bays (5 across, 3 deep) with a total of 288 apartments.
Once again he created with form and function . The first floor of the building rested on plithes giving the building integration with the outdoors.
