Aqua is an 82-story mixed-use residential skyscraper in the Lakeshore East development in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Designed by a team led by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects, with James Loewenberg of Loewenberg & Associates as the Architect of Record, it includes five levels of parking below ground. The building’s eighty-story, 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) base is topped by a 82,550 sq ft (7,669 m2) terrace with gardens, gazebos, pools, hot tubs, a walking/running track and a fire pit. Each floor covers approximately 16,000 sq ft (1,500 m2). The Aqua was awarded the Emporis Skyscraper Award as 2009 skyscraper of the year, and was shortlisted in 2010 for the biennial International Highrise Award

The Aqua Tower is located at 225 North Columbus Drive, and is surrounded by high-rises. To capture views of nearby landmarks for Aqua’s residents, Gang stretched its balconies outward by as much as 12 ft (3.7 m). The result is a building composed of irregularly shaped concrete floor slabs which lend the facade an undulating, sculptural quality.Gang cites the striated limestone outcroppings that are a common topographic feature of the Great Lakes region as inspiration for these slabs.

The building contains 55,000 sq ft (5,100 m2) of retail and office space, in addition to 215 hotel rooms (floors 1-18), 476 rental residential units (floors 19-52), and 263 condominium units & penthouses (floors 53-81). Aqua is the first downtown building to combine condos, apartments and a hotel. Strategic Hotels & Resorts had agreed to acquire the first 15 floors of hotel space upon completion of the building, but terminated its $84 million contract for the space in August 2008, citing significant changes in the economic environment.

Carlson Hotels Worldwide announced May 12, 2010, that it agreed to spend $125 million to open the first Radisson Blu hotel in the United States (Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel) on 18 vacant floors of the highrise.The 334-room hotel opened on November 1, 2011.The building was designed by the lead architect of Studio Gang Architects, Jeanne Gang.

The name ‘Aqua’ was assigned to the building by Magellan Development Group LLC. It fits the nautical theme of the other buildings in the Lake Shore East development, and is derived from the wave-like forms of the balconies; the tower’s proximity to nearby Lake Michigan also influenced the name.Concrete Superintendent Paul Treacy, was nominated as one of Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) top 25 news makers of 2008 for the design and implementation of the exterior formwork to mold the undulating façade of the Aqua.

Sustainability was an important factor in Aqua’s design. Gang and her team refined the terrace extensions to maximize solar shading, and other sustainable features include a water-efficient irrigation system and energy-efficient lighting. The green roof on top of the tower base is one of the largest in Chicago. The tower is certified LEED-NC

Aqua令人注目的特點在於其外觀設計,在陽台設計上,每個陽台平均向外延伸3.7公尺(12英尺)。為了創造富有雕刻性的立面,在設計上利用不規則弧形陽台的組合,創造出波浪樣式的建築立面。該設計靈感來自大湖區常見的石灰岩露頭景觀。由於波浪狀的建築立面與玻璃外牆組合,使建築立面像是波浪起伏的水面一樣,另外也因為大廈地點鄰近密西根湖,因此開發商麥哲倫開發有限公司(Magellan Development Group)將大廈命名為Aqua。
建築永續性在建築設計是重要一環之一,陽台向外延伸的設計除了美觀,也可提高遮陽限度,另外在永續性設計上也包括雨水收集系統與節能照明。建築的綠化屋頂面積也是永續性設計之一,並且是芝加哥市內,綠化屋頂面積最大的大廈。目前Aqua大廈正在受美國綠建築協會審核LEED認證。
Aqua大廈內包含5,100平方公尺(55,000平方英尺)的零售商圈與辦公室。1到18樓為酒店,提供215個客房。19到52樓為出租式公寓,總共475戶。53到81樓為分契式公寓與空中別墅,共263戶。該建築是市區首座結合分契式公寓、集合式住宅、與酒店的建築。戰略酒店與度假公司(Strategic Hotels & Resorts)在大廈建設期間已8400萬美元合同獲得酒店經營權,但該公司因環球金融危機影響而在2008年8月終止合同。
卡爾森公司在2010年5月12日宣布,以1.25億美元合同獲得1到18樓酒店經營合同,並讓子公司麗笙酒店經營,這也是麗笙酒店第一個在美國的據點。

Its powerful form suggests the memory of the limestone outcrops and geological forces that shaped the Great Lakes region.

The name “Aqua” follows the nautical theme developed in the eastern shore and is represented by wavy forms from the balconies and blue-green tint on the windows which give the peculiar shape of its facade, defining a particular highlight in Overall, something like a vectograma.

其強有力的形式暗示了塑造大湖地區的石灰岩露頭和地質力量的記憶。

“Aqua”這個名字源自東海岸的航海主題,以陽台上的波浪形式和窗戶上的藍綠色為代表,呈現出立面的奇特形狀,在總體上定義了一個特別的亮點,vectograma。
