Working with the people who know Garfield Park best—its residents—to imagine the future of their neighborhood has been incredibly rewarding. We're proud to help our home city of Chicago to invest in the safety and prosperity of this community." — Jeanne Gang

"Terraine will add beautifully designed residences to complement the neighboring workspaces of Arbor so that those who work in San Jose are not commuting from other areas, but connecting with the growing city."

"Though it's been open for less than a year, One Hundred, a 36-story residential tower in St. Louis's Central West End neighborhood, carries itself like a city landmark."

"Studio Gang’s 14-story mass timber ‘Arbor’ emulates the spirit of working in a tree fort with a minimal carbon footprint...The tactile wood structure becomes a terraced framework for vertical ravines and green space, allowing the optimal amount of light, air and shade into and out of the building. meanwhile, green roofs, green walls, and vegetated trellises serve to filter the air, reduce the urban heat island effect, and reduce energy use for active cooling."

"Baptisée Mira Tower et fruit de l’imagination du renommé Studio Gang, cette tour d’appartements luxueux s’élève comme une spirale vers le ciel. Elle est conçue à partir d’un système modulaire qui se répète tous les onze étages."

"The leading American firms we spoke to for this article produce high-quality architecture which is always going to help attract the best people, especially graduates and those at the beginning of their careers lured by a sense of good design. During the challenges of the last twelve months, these companies seem to have stayed on top of their game and kept their teams engaged and happy for the most part."

'Jeanne Gang, founding principal of architecture and urban design firm Studio Gang, which designed the new Mira condominium, said Gensler's example made it "OK for architects to have a business plan."

Assemble Chicago, our design with The Community Builders for the c40 Cities Chicago Loop Competition, is a carbon-neutral, 20-story mixed use building with 207 apartments for our downtown workforce earning as little as minimum wage as well as community-collaborative spaces and a revitalized Pritzker Park.

"One Hundred is full of inflections: between downtown and Forest Park, between the city’s past and its future. It serves as a bold new landmark for the Central West End that still subtly responds to the context through its massing, geometry, and materiality. The tower adds to the rich and layered history of its neighborhood while embodying an optimistic outlook for the city of St. Louis."

'Ms. Gang has spoken publicly on how even very tall towers can encourage friendly communities beyond elevator small talk. At Studio Gang’s 82-storey Aqua in Chicago, for example, rippling balconies create sightlines that allow folks to chat with neighbours above and below. At One Delisle, large balconies and smaller ones will create a similar effect, as will the expansive “Ravine Terrace.”'
