O'RILEY OFFICE

This project is an adaptive reuse of an existing movie, from 1929, an adjacent commercial building and grey-stone 2-flat. The project includes a live performance venue with a capacity for 1,500 people, an on-site brewery and tap room, and The Ramova Grill, all bringing a mix of world class entertainment experiences and community focused programming. The Ramova will offer an impressive set of live performances, closely planned community events, and world class food and beer to create a new gathering place for The South Side.

The interiors of the entry lobby, concessions and auditorium, along with the South Halsted Street exterior facade rehabilitation work earned the building a place on the National Register of Historic Places in December 2021.

This project is for an 85-unit apartment building over street-level retail and restaurant spaces, in Everett, Massachusetts. With off-street parking and contemporary amenities, this project is intended to attract commuting professionals to Everett.

This project is for an apartment building in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. O’Riley Office studied the feasibility of replacing an existing single-family home with this 18-unit building.

Completed in 2018, this building expands the existing intensive care unit while creating a new, enlarged emergency department for the Cleveland Clinic’s Weston, Florida, campus.

This project includes 46 ED exam and treatment rooms, 24 observation rooms and 74 new acute and intensive care patient rooms. This project takes advantage of the Florida sun, using clerestory to naturally light staff work spaces, a courtyard to provide daylight and views to observation beds and brise-soleil on the bed tower to draw in diffuse natural light while cutting out direct sunlight.

This project aims to improve the functionality of a 1921 four-bedroom, one-bath bungalow in Chicago’s Belmont-Cragin neighborhood by reconfiguring the ground floor bedrooms and bathroom into a suite for the owners and their newborn child.

This page will be a clearing house for studies and sundry speculations.

This project was a feasibility study for an 18-unit apartment building in East Boston. The site is at the entry to a residential neighborhood, from a heavily trafficked commercial corridor.

This project is in the middle of design for a 42-unit apartment building in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. The building is situated along a neighborhood seam between single-family homes and large institutional buildings. While larger than it’s residential neighbors, the building’s mass and setbacks are kind to the housing and to the institutional buildings. This is a work in progress.

This project was a study for the as-of-right feasibility of a ten unit building in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston.

Our solution was to provide ten multigenerational townhomes spread across three levels. The entry level of each unit is design to act as a standalone one-bedroom or two-bedroom unit that serves as an in-law suite, guest quarters or for an extension of the levels above. The second level is the communal focal point of each unit with open living, dining and kitchen spaces. The third floor contains the balance of the bedrooms, including a master suite.

This project was in collaboration with Context.

3333 West Lake is an addition to an existing precast concrete building, originally used as a telephone exchange and motor-pool garage. The project adds an entry lobby and elevator, giving the building to house a single or multiple tenants.

Sited on the west side of Chicago, surrounded by light industrial buildings, the addition’s corrugated metal panel and weathering-steel cladding were selected as a compliment to the rough texture of the building’s existing precast panels and as an homage to surrounding construction.
