A standout design feature and resident favorite amenity, the Row’s co-working space has been curated to support new work from anywhere trends and evolving live and work patterns. As such, The Row's co-working lounge provides a new kind of luxury: a seamless transition from 'live' to 'work,' all within a single residence.

MAWD designed various seating clusters to support a variety of work styles, including a laptop bar that provides the perfect backdrop for individuals to answer early morning emails, as well as dedicated work booths that support focused productivity. Library-style tables provide a more relaxed setting for group and team meetings, while conference rooms provide privacy for smaller groups.

The diversity of seating arrangements allows for multiple individuals to work simultaneously while remaining comfortable and focused. Lastly, individual privacy was made a priority through the addition of dividers, sectioning, work booths, and the intentional planning of seating clusters.

In terms of materials, furnishings, and fixtures, The Row's co-working space brings in warmth through rich, layered, materials, while hospitality-driven details such as a fireplace, add a 'cub like' feel to the space. A majority of the furniture was custom made for the space, including the work booths, which were upholstered in velvet for elevated comfort.

While drawing inspiration from The Row’s industrial and mid-century heritage, MAWD worked to add additional richness through material layering, a warm color palette, and natural finishes.

In the lobby, Australian walnut paneling and linear bronze accents compliment Novasuede Sherwood wall upholstery, while the travertine floors and front desk made of solid Armani stone with an Opera d’Arte accent provide warmth and texture. The fireplace creates a welcoming reception fit for Chicago’s cooler climate. Running through the fireplace, a band of bronze metal gently slopes inward towards the fire, adding a moment of organic movement to the room.

Much of the project’s furniture and finishing have been custom-made, including the lobby’ chandelier. Several of MAWD’s studio chairs have been placed throughout The Row, the first time these chairs have appeared in a residential project.

As noted by Morris Adjmi, Founder and Principal of M+A, "The Row’s architectural expression is a conversation between past and present, heritage and innovation. We sought to create a contemporary design narrative that honors Chicago’s architectural legacy and Fulton Market’s industrial spirit while welcoming the neighborhood’s dynamic future."
