Journal
Design is a conversation, and this is where we keep talking. Here we share stories from the studio—community events, collaborations, interviews, and the small moments of inspiration that shape the way we work. These entries reflect how ideas connect us to each other, to our practice, and to the creatives around us.
Inspiration Breakfast: “Lucas In Italy”
In spite of losing his luggage on the way, Lucas had an amazing trip to Italy. Traveling the sweltering summer sun, he made his way to Castelfranco, Italy and towards Brombal Glass, a family-run glass company specializing in steel, brass, and bronze windows.
CRAN Conversation at En Masse Architecture and Design
When we were presented with the opportunity to host an American Institute of Architects Chicago (AIA Chicago) CRAN event this August we were so excited to host our fellow architects and architectural professionals.
The Perfect Cortado
We have mastered the perfect cortado. As each designer takes a turn crafting their own to kick start their day, the coffee bar has become the first place where the conversation begins.
En Masse Rebrand Launch Party
Celebrating the evolution of our brand, expressing our architectural approach, and sharing the joy that is contained within our concrete exterior was our goal- and we feel so proud to have been able to share that with our friends and fellow designers.
Behind Our Rebrand: “En Masse” & FAQs
Everyone involved in the process brings value and we learn so much on every project from clients, collaborators, contractors, etc. En Masse means “all together.” For us, that’s a reflection of the way we work, and who we are.
