CASE STUDY EXAMPLE:
Four Seasons Hotel, Chicago, IL

In the heart of Chicago, the Four Seasons Hotel underwent a remarkable lobby transformation, enhancing its public spaces with timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication. Led by Rottet Studio with OKW Architects, the renovation called for materials and details that would elevate the guest experience and match the iconic brand’s reputation for excellence.

Challenge

As the most visible space in the hotel, the lobby needed to reflect the Four Seasons’ elevated design standards while maintaining architectural integrity, openness, and subtle grandeur. Every new element had to integrate seamlessly with the interior finishes and design intent—without disrupting the flow of space or light.

Solutions

Our minimalist swing doors and fixed panels were selected for their clean lines, transparency, and precise detailing. The matte black hardware and unobtrusive profiles offered a quiet sophistication, supporting the designers’ goal of creating a lobby that feels both grand and welcoming. PK30’s dedication to craftsmanship and design integrity ensured that every element installed contributed to the lobby’s understated elegance and architectural harmony.

Results

The result is a lobby that sets the tone for the Four Seasons experience: refined, contemporary, and unforgettable. PK30 System’s solutions played a key role in delivering the openness, elegance, and premium feel envisioned by the design team. The renovation was celebrated across the design industry, earning top honors:

• Interior Design Best of Year Awards – Winner, Domestic Chain Hotel
• SBID International Design Awards – Winner, Public Spaces

Conclusion

When excellence is the standard, only the best will do. PK30’s commitment to craftsmanship, performance, and design collaboration made us a natural partner for the Four Seasons’ most iconic space.
