Crain’s Chicago Business 2019 Best New Event Spaces
Designed as a fellowship hall for the nearby Old St. Patrick’s (OSP) Church congregation, Amazing Space is an award-winning event venue located at 625 West Adams Street in Chicago’s West Loop.
The 20,000-square-foot interior buildout draws inspiration from Old St. Patrick’s historic 1850 church, incorporating yellow brick, marble floors, warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, and subtle Celtic motifs that reinforce the connection between the two buildings. A second-floor mezzanine overlooks the main hall, creating dramatic views of the space below.
Eckenhoff Saunders carefully balanced sacred and secular design elements by combining Romanesque architectural forms with understated religious symbolism, creating a welcoming venue capable of hosting a wide variety of events. The project includes an 800-person main hall, catering kitchen, sacristy, conference rooms, and a flexible multipurpose space.
