Whitney Architects

The Whitney team spent the day volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, helping repack food and household goods for our community.

It was a rewarding way to step away from our desks, work together, and give back to the community we’re proud to call home.

Want to help make an impact? Every $1 donated helps provide 3 meals for our neighbors facing hunger.

Thank you to the Greater Chicago Food Depository for having us!

From private offices to wellness and reflection rooms, workplace design is becoming more flexible as employers accommodate different generations and work styles.

Mentorship doesn’t happen by chance.

Is your office actually designed to make it happen?

Labor Day has always been about celebrating the people whose work, ideas, and contributions move us forward. And for many of us, it also marks that bittersweet moment when summer starts to wind down.

So before we trade long days for fall routines, we’re giving summer one last moment in the sun. ☀️

Our Homage to Summer palette captures the colors, warmth, and energy of the season, followed by a few favorite summer moments and adventures shared by our Whitney team.

Here’s to the work we’re proud of, the people who make it possible, and a summer well spent.

Happy Labor Day from Whitney!

A better workplace creates a better workday. For Stout, their move wasn’t just about a new address. It was about making the office worth showing up for.

Whitney partnered with Stout to create a bright, modern workplace at The Bell built for focus, flexibility, and connection. The result: a headquarters roughly half the size of its previous footprint while retaining nearly 80 percent of its seating capacity.

Free address workstations, focus rooms, huddle spaces, and a centrally located work café give employees a range of settings for how they work throughout the day. Combined with The Bell’s top-tier amenities and overall experience, the new headquarters becomes a destination that adds real value to in-person work.

New space, new energy for Econic Partners.

Whitney designed Econic’s first physical office in Chicago as a welcoming home base for a previously remote team, supporting connection, collaboration, focused work, and future growth.

Drawing inspiration from Chicago’s skyline and Lake Michigan, the workplace pairs warm materials, soft curves, and a grounded palette with private offices, meeting spaces, wellness rooms, collaboration zones, and a vibrant work café.

Proud to have partnered with Econic Partners and the full project team to bring this space to life.
