Blair Kamin's article also praises the interiors and the
courtyard that's created by closing off the "U"
of the existing building with the new mass. Artificial and
natural light seem to mingle in the mixture of transparent

Growing up in Northbrook, I can say that few contemporary
buildings exist that illicit any "rear-view mirror"
looks by passersby. So it's refreshing to see architecture
there that starts from the typical suburban bland and ends
up with a unique design statement.
