La Cabaña

Nicolas Waidele submits his second project called La Cabaña for the Portfolio Challenge. Nicolas studied architecture and design at the Illinois Institute of Technology and has been able to since continue working in the Chicago area. He is currently working at NWA Architects.

He has competed in the The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) and the Chicago Architectural Club have announced seven finalists for the architectural design competition calling for new, creative visions for the State of Illinois Thompson Center designed by Helmut Jahn, built in 1984 and put up for sale in May 2021. The competition seeks to give the building new life through restorative architecture while preserving its architecture and public character. The competition was open to anyone with a vision for the building including students, architects, designers, planners, and artists.

La Cabaña is a design that Nicolas created before joining The Chicago Architecture Center’s (CAC) Helmut Jahn Awards, and provides us with a sense of his design style and how he would design affordable housing. He goes into the smaller details necessary for construction documents and provides rendering of the façade, as well as the interlocking system that stabilizes the structures.

[Let us also share your great work with our Community and participate in the Portfolio Challenge today.]
