Oz Park Residence

Dirk Denison Architects — Chicago, IL

Oz Park Residence features wood siding, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a green roof on a covered patio area.

Oz Park Residence is a single-family house designed for a standard lot in Chicago, Illinois. The brief called for integrating flexible living spaces while enhancing the connection with the outdoors. Landscape design contributed by Doug Hoerr was fundamental in shaping outdoor areas into usable extensions of the residence. The project was notable for receiving the first residential green permit issued by the city, underscoring its commitment to sustainable construction methods and materials. The design aligns indoor spaces with exterior gardens, fostering a continuous relationship between inside and outside. Sustainable materials are used throughout the structure, supporting the energy-efficient approach central to the project. The house is organized to maximize site usage, providing a fluid transition between living areas and landscaped surroundings.
