Boelter’s design team was awarded the contract to renovate the historic James Hotel in downtown Chicago. Shortly after beginning the project, the owners of 21c Museum Hotel made the decision to alter their original plans to update the kitchen space, and instead focus their efforts on renovating and enhancing the bar area.
Chris Liesch, Boelter’s Project Manager, immediately began the process of supplying all new bar equipment. Midway through approvals, the owners enhanced their vision even further and ultimately landed on the idea to design a sushi bar. Seeing an opportunity to be involved with something truly unique, Chris and his team rapidly switched gears and made the adjustments necessary to develop not only a brand-new sushi bar, but an impressive wine storage room as well.
