Mine goes to CMK Development. Very innovative designs. Very forward-minded architecture. Check these out:

Are we talking about developers or architects? If we're talking dev's... I'd probably say Hines? If architects, it's got to be Kreuck and Sexton.

Of course! Anything I can do to promote my future place of employment *crosses fingers*

Here's a shot of the interior courtyard of their "Glass and Steel House" here on Chicago's North Side.

Here's the rendering for the Chicago Christian Industrial League (whatever the hell that means?) going up at 600 S. Wabash.

More Chicago Christian Industrial League stuff... this time on the Roosevelt Road Campus.

These two are the masterminds behind the new Spertus Institute going on S. Michigan Ave. (which has been discussed at some point on this forum).

Here's a shot of the "Transparent House" just finishing up construction down in Pensacola, FL.

Here's a wild proposal they submitted for the new WTC. I think it's 1000x better than anything that actually made it past the RFP stage.

Most importantly (to us, at any rate), K&S was the architect that worked with Jaume Plensa to make the Crown Fountain at Millennium Park a reality. At any rate, you can find tons more pictures at their web site (www.ksarch.com).
