Dunkin’ Donuts, Chicago, IL

This freestanding Dunkin Donuts drive-thru is located at a busy north side Chicago intersection. Site-specific challenges drove the design process including initial design meetings with the local neighborhood association; provision of safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation; and modification of the corporate prototype into a unique design whose aesthetic was applauded by Dunkin’s corporate newsletter. The resulting development serves as a vibrant neighborhood gateway and gathering place, linked to the community through attractive pedestrian- and transit-oriented streetscape features.
