KLEO intentionally challenge norms in affordable housing by making natural light and quality of living the overriding priority. It's intended to serve local artists in the community and become a catalyst for development on the Southside of Chicago. While form and mass of the building are designed to fit seamlessly within the area, the translucent façade is designed to do the opposite. This provides optimal daylighting for residents/artists on the inside, while in the evening hours, the building literally glows, becoming a beacon within the community, eliciting pride and hope for the community.
