"Tide Pools"

Aqua Building ~ Chicago, Illinois ~ USA

Tide Pools at the Aqua Building. The Aqua building is a 82 story mixed use residential skyscraper in downtown Chicago. The design team was led by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects. The building has a really interesting and unique design. The balconies have a wave shape that makes the building look like it is a series of waves.

Interesting to see more details on the construction of this edifice - this is the first time I have seen the balcony railings. This shot adds a more gritty feel to this building compared to the previous shots you have posted.

Are the balcony's different sizes? Or just the concrete ledges? Very cool work Tex, I like this!

Jim, I am not sure about the size of the balconies. Based on the designed of the building, I would guess they would have to be different sizes.
