The design of 101 West is rooted in storytelling. During entitlement, the community asked for a building that honored the site’s past as part of Barrington’s historic warehouse district. With no structures left, the design imagined a late 19th-century brick warehouse as the starting point, then treated it like an adaptive reuse project that had evolved over time. A loading dock became a parking garage, openings were added and infilled, balconies introduced, and finally a fourth floor was built above – echoing the character of a loft conversion. Topped with soaring roof planes for modern flair, 101 West feels like it has always belonged in Barrington’s fabric while delivering a fresh, contemporary residential experience.
