Jeanne Gang – Solstice on the Park

Solstice on the Park in Chicago, IL

Hyde Park Chicago, Illinois is home to Jeanne Gang’s Solstice on the Park, built in 2018. The residential building’s slanted windows were uniquely designed to efficiently use the sun. During the hot summer months when the sun is high, the slanted windows prevent direct sunlight from entering the building. During the cold winter months, the sun’s lower angle allows direct sunlight. This saves energy on both air condition in the summer and heating in the winter. It is clear that Jeanne Gang is concerned with excessive energy consumption is experimenting with unique designs to combat the issue.
