Ethan Allen Furniture, Skokie, IL

When Ethan Allen Furniture decided to change their image as a “traditional style furniture” retailer in 1993, they decided to re-concept their brick façade Georgian architectural style exteriors into something more classic. We designed and detailed a “new look” exterior using a stucco like finish system. As a result of careful detailing and monitoring of the installation of the finish system, the exterior of the building still looks new after nearly fifteen years. The construction process of re-facing this 15,000 SF building took two months while the store remained open for business.
