  • BOX Studios partnered with Acero (meaning “Steel” in Spanish) Schools to design their tailored downtown Chicago office headquarters, focusing on a design based on natural light, energetic culture, and an open industrial aesthetic reflective of the vibrant and hardworking Hispanic community. Located on the famed Michigan Ave, this 8,900 SF full floor office space touts amazing views of Millenium Park and Lake Michigan. The design features warm wood tones, black accents, and colorful environmental branding while also exposing the building’s structure for an open industrial feel. In the reception area large scale graphics playfully highlight the current school locations while a custom logo incorporating Spanish Talavera tiles designs into the school’s brand. Acero Schools’ new headquarters enables the organization to foster its growth and facilitate its development while commemorating the culture cultivated over the last two decades.
