"We wanted our
customers to
see themselves
and the Chicago
community
reflected in
the space."

doors, which open up to bring the outside in on
beautiful days.
Elena Limbert, senior director of design at
Capital One, says the surrounding neighborhood
influenced much of the design. "We drew inspiration from subway entrances, median planters and
the 'L' tracks along The Loop, reflected in the concrete and metal details throughout the café space,"
she explains. "Above our feature stairway, we hung
beautiful Swirl pendants from a local retailer,
Blackjack Lighting."
The expansive stairway leads to the second level,
which has a variety of workspaces to suit privacy
and grouping preferences. Some of the smaller
workspaces are first come, first served, but others
can be reserved ahead of time. Modular seating in
the corner window area allows for many collaborative and social configurations.
As happens with many flagships, some of
details at State Street are being carried over into
other Capital One locations. "The custom bench
and drink rail details designed by IA inspired detailing now used in the standards, and some of the
furniture proposed has also been implemented in
the standards," says Kevin Savva, senior project
manager at IA. "The bi-fold door system was also
used at another one of Capital One's locations in
the Hyde Park neighborhood. The temperature and
humidity monitoring system (for the bi-fold doors)
is also something they will use going forward,
depending on the climate of the location."
Representatives at Capital One declined to share
upcoming café openings, but the focus on bringing
people together and local communities remains.
"We wanted our customers to see themselves and
the Chicago community reflected in the space, so
we were extremely thoughtful and deliberate about
using elements inspired by the local architecture of
the neighborhood," Limbert says.
