The Sofitel Chicago Water Tower is the exciting design of French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. At its southern end, the tower’s knifelike edge narrows and juts out as it rises, extending at the top 33 feet over the sidewalk. The Chicago chapter of the AIA declared the structure the "best new building in Chicago in the last ten years."
