Joliet Inpatient Treatment Center | HOK
This fall I had the opportunity to work with HOK for the first time photographing the exteriors of their recently completed mental health and medical correctional facility which aims to act as a model for mental health treatment within the corrections.

Ram’s Gate Winery | Backen & Backen
