Krueck and Sexton Architects is an architecture firm located in Chicago. The firm was originally established in 1979 by Ronald Krueck and Keith Olsen under Krueck Olsen Architects, with Mark Sexton joining the company the following year. In 1991 current partners Ron Krueck and Mark Sexton established Krueck and Sexton Architects.[1]
Among their designs are Chicago's Spertus Institute and Crown Fountain.[2] Spertus Institute is known for its striking all glass facade that provides views towards Grant Park and Lake Michigan, where 726 panes of glass in over 500 different shapes and sizes were used while simultaneously staying within a tight budget.[3] Krueck and Sexton worked in close collaboration with artist Jaume Plensa to help realize his design for Crown Fountain in Chicago's Millennium Park.
The firm has also completed restoration work on Mies van der Rohe's 860-880 Lake Shore Drive Apartments where the facades were recoated and cleaned, the plaza was restored with a new concealed drainage system, and new sandblasted glass was used in the lobby, which more accurately represents the original design.[4]
