Located in the Roscoe Village neighborhood, Clark Park Boathouse is the first of four new boathouses built along the Chicago River. The 20,000 square foot, state of the art facility鈥檚 exterior is richly decorated with a mixture of zinc and slate tiles, lined with timber that wraps the inside of the balconies and base of hanging eaves. The northern building, features a series of sweeping roof projections, while the south-facing clerestory windows extend up to the edge of the roof, bringing high levels of natural light through the building, but also helping to warm the interior in winter and allow natural ventilation during the summer. Plan an avant-garde event with equal parts cutting edge architecture and natural oasis that your guests will always remember!
