Our next blog post features photos from a MILLER + MILLER Architectural Photography Wisconsin interior architectural photography project shoot for Flad Architects – Sentry Insurance Corporate Headquarters Lobby Renovation. Our second corporate headquarters refresh. See both of the lobby interior renovation shoots by our client and friends at Flad Architects. Flad Architects is located in Madison and booked us for this cost shared architectural photographer shoot which took place at the Sentry Insurance Headquarters building in Stevens Point, Wisconsin located on the SentryWorld Campus.

A few of our interior photography objectives for the Wisconsin architect’s photo shoot was to capture photos of the renovation’s architectural details, new room layout designs, and the stunning custom lighting’s essence by highlighting the luminous centerpiece — a radiant chandelier. The lobby’s large lighting masterpiece installation captivated everyone the moment they entered the corporate building on our shoot day.

The Sentry Insurance Headquarter’s office lobby features the stunning, custom Yellow Goat Design acrylic blue, Floe chandelier centerpiece light. The light design & installation was a custom collaboration between Flad Architects and YGD to create an iconic light installation that reflects the insurance company’s brand colors featuring blue acrylic slices suspended to form a three-dimensional shape interpretation of Sentry’s corporate logo. The LED bi-pins lights added sparkle and glow to the hanging acrylic panels and lobby room. According to Yellow Goat Design, the company says the light “successfully represents a feeling of warmth for all that walk through the doors – inspiring trust, inspiration, conversation and vibrancy.”

The corporate headquarters office’s revitalization photographs shoot included both on the ground and photographing aerial drone photography exterior building images. As an exterior architectural photographer, with the option for requesting drone aerial images, the ability to photograph the entrance canopy connecting the parking garage to the building, and the landscape architecture improvements on the terrace completed by Flad Architect’s landscape experts, allowed for a variety of both ground eye-level and drone elevations.

We captured a variety of portfolio imagery angles showcasing the architect’s enhancements to the inner courtyards and multi-tiered terrace below. Building design improvements by the architect and photographs included photography of the building’s new exterior glass curtain wall facade and a reimagined landscape architect design on the terrace featuring pergolas, new pavers, stylish lounge seating, and uplighting—creating a serene garden retreat for employees, customers, and visitors to enjoy. Our last photograph of the shoot was featuring the light installation, glowing through the lobby’s glass at night after dark.

The iconic, award-winning original Sentry Insurance Campus facility building, located in central Wisconsin, was originally designed by Flad in the late 1970s, and was a progressive work of architecture for its time. The described by many as sci-fi looking stone building has a figure 8 design, and centrally located 6-story atrium, allowing for natural light inside, and is raised above multiple levels of parking providing for an open, interior lush courtyard, plus beautiful surrounding views being perched high with viewing vantage points across small-town Wisconsin. Continuing to work with Flad today approximately 25 years later, Flad and Sentry have been enhancing and modernizing their corporate building facilities with construction completion across multiple buildings in Wisconsin, Stevens Point, and Goldsboro, North Carolina.

110 North Wacker Chicago Skyscraper Building Photography

110 N Wacker Chicago skyscraper building photography

110 North Wacker Chicago

This next post features architectural photography of the 110 North Wacker Chicago skyscraper building, Chicago’s newest premier Chicago office tower. The mixed-use office and retail building architecture is set between prestigious Wacker Drive and the Chicago River within Chicago’s iconic skyline. As a Chicago architectural photographer team, MILLER+MILLER is moving often around downtown Chicago photographing properties and developments. As commercial photographers photographing portfolio and marketing property images, this give us a sneak peek into what’s new, building growth, and developments blooming up within the city. From Chicago’s skyscrapers, urban developments, rooftops, riverfront properties, to hot new restaurants, and newly constructed buildings, with each new property is a change to the skyline of Chicago. With our camera and eyes looking up from the ground for a commercial architecture photography project, or our camera up in the sky for drone aerial photography and architectural video drone vantage view points, we enjoy viewing numerous changes and often have a first-hand look into the urban Chicago modern skyscraper architecture developments and witnessing the evolution of Chicago’s vast skyline views.

The Class A+ 110 North Wacker Chicago building is a 1.5 million-square-foot premier downtown Chicago office tower and mixed-use property. The 55-story building with Chicago riverfront is boasting spectacular city views and Chicago Riverwalk access. The skyscraper location is within Chicago’s Central Business District in the West Loop submarket. Howard Hughes Corporation is the developer for the Chicago skyscraper development. Chicago is proud to welcome Howard Hughes, a developer and operator of master planned communities and mixed-use properties nationwide spanning 14 states from New York to Hawaii, and now in Chicago. One of our niche client’s is photographing inside corporate commercial real estate and office building photography. Below are a few highlights for this new development under construction in downtown Chicago.

The building is designed by Chicago-based, award-winning architect Goettsch Partners, renowned for their high-rise design and technical expertise. The tower is wrapped in a high-performance aluminum-and-glass curtain wall, showcasing sweeping views up and down the Chicago river, as well as of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. The modern architectural style utilizes a steel structure, concrete core construction, high performance floor to ceiling glass, 9’-6” clear ceiling height, and high-end stone elements at the pedestrian level and lobbies. The building provides state-of-the art office space, amenities, and notable public outdoor environments. A 45-foot-high lobby is enclosed by a cable-supported glass wall, and sculpted, folded-limestone cladding covers the elevator cores. The transparency of the low-iron glass wall virtually eliminates the distinction between interior and exterior space, with the lobby and streetscape becoming one.

Described as situated on the last true “trophy” office site development parcel with nearby access to major every metro transportation system. Goettsch Partners says “the site would have been developed many years ago if not for its trapezoidal shape. Given that the east and west property lines are not parallel, fitting a typical Class A office floor plate, including the center core and desired lease spans, is a challenge. In addition, for any site along the river, the city requires a 30-foot-wide publicly accessible riverwalk, further complicating the site. The design addresses the challenges with an unusual stepped center core, which allows for a 45-foot lease span on each side. To avoid an angled perimeter, the west wall has a series of 30-foot-wide, five-foot setbacks, accommodating an orthogonal, five-foot planning module throughout the building.” The series of architectural setbacks along the west facade creates 14 corner-office opportunities per floor. The riverwalk setbacks also helped to create the building’s distinctive form that accentuates the building’s verticality and avoids the pure box-like appearance of typical office towers. Three large, “tree-like” column structural elements transfer out the tower columns along the river and further open 45-foot-wide Chicago riverwalk at the building site.

The location is between Wacker with the Chicago River and bounded by Washington and Randolph Streets, the 110 North Wacker building includes robust amenities such as a well-appointed conference center, board rooms, quick casual dining, a large professionally-operated fitness center as well as approximately 100 valet and reserved parking stalls. The project delivers a lushly landscaped public riverwalk and park at the base of the building as well as 360 feet of Riverwalk frontage with pedestrian paths. The Goettsch Partners’s building design provides a 45-foot-wide riverwalk that is covered, but effectively open to the sky, 55 feet above.

The glass curtain wall enclosure was completed at the time of this photo. However, the new Chicago high-rise skyscraper development is currently under construction and is set to open in Q4 of 2020. The mixed-use office tower will feature an abundance of retail and dining options, state-of-the-art building systems, and an arts program. In addition, approximately half of the site is being allocated for public open space.
