Utilizing the Chicago Green Homes program, Morgante Wilson Architects and LG Development Group are striving to obtain a LEED Platinum certification for this single family home in Chicago. The project converts Wicker Park’s former Get Me High Lounge into a three story single family home with a magnificent roof deck and subterranean home theater. The home will have green features throughout such as solar hydronic panels, high efficiency radiant floor heat and cooling systems, rain water harvesting for irrigation, and recycled content in the foundation concrete and fiber cement siding. Joists in the existing building will be repurposed into stair treads and shelving. All interior paints and finishes are specified to reduce off- gassing of volatile chemicals.
