Headmaze Introspection
Monument & Special Amusement Building | Chicago, Illinois
Headmaze Introspection is an immersive experience into a repository of representational interiors that guide visitors to walk through a reflection of our inner worlds. This four story space will be constructed inside a giant head-shaped space frame on the concourse at Chicago's Navy Pier.​ This comprehensive building program includes the primary sculptural Headmaze Introspection building: 8860 GSF of 18-20 immersive rooms with four floors that can accommodate up to 200 occupants simultaneously, as well as the Headmaze Institute, a non-profit located in second bay of Navy Pier, and support outbuilding called The Bait Shack, incorporating restroom facilities, concessions and Headmaze support (AV, mechanical, electrical). The exterior site grounds will include al fresco dining, public seating, and green space. The project is expected to break ground in 2026.
Queen of Peace Chapel & Mausoleum
Chapel & Mausoleum | Clinton Township, Michigan
Queen of Peace Chapel and Mausoleum in suburban Detroit presents a unique project first for the zpd+a team. Collaborating with Chicago planning and design firm, Mekus Tanager, we are working with Resurrection Cemetery to design and build an integrated mausoleum and chapel space for remembrance, healing and community. This expansive project includes a chapel with private mausoleums, three free-standing exterior mausoleums, and comprehensive landscape planning prioritizing non-invasive plants native to Michigan.
The project is scheduled to break ground in late 2025.
