RATIO CHICAGO
RATIO’s Chicago studio creates lasting value for international and domestic communities. Our diverse team is attuned to the cultures and values of international work and has extensive experience with large-scale, mixed-use projects. Simultaneously, we are stewards of our home city, dedicated to improving and serving our community. We proudly continue the legacy of Chicago architecture through craftsmanship in building assembly, particularly in state-of-the-art designs for high-rise towers, inclusive of supertall typologies. We shape skylines contextually with iconic corporate headquarters, hospitality, mixed use and residential towers, and cultural centers.

Placemaking
The days of designing for a discrete project are numbered. While creating socially sustainable environments that improve the health and well-being of community members is now a given, today’s most forward-thinking architects are finding it their mission to go beyond their project in terms of both space and time—to consider, and even encourage, land use patterns in the surrounding area, and to anticipate, and even influence, future events and unexpected consequences. Best practice has become to design not only for the footprint of the project and its surrounding area but also for the timeline of the property and the people who will use it in years to come.
Craftsmanship
We practice high-quality, sustainable design that’s thoughtfully detailed and executed to precision for lasting impact in a rapidly changing world.

Sustainability
We believe sustainability in design has evolved to be less about bricks and mortar and more about the user experience in a built environment that’s economically, socially, and environmentally responsive.

Art & Narrative
We are convinced the integration of art and architecture results in a more rich and immersive cultural experience that provokes inter-generational value.
