Architecture of the sun.

Responding to its uniquely opportune site, Solstice on the Park’s form maximizes views and minimizes solar heat gain. The uniquely angled southern façade mirrors the precise angle of the sun when it is at its highest altitude- noon on the Summer Solstice. The result is a dazzling and dynamic building envelope that engages with its environment and utilizes the sun’s position to maximize solar shading when needed most in the summer, while still allowing warm light to penetrate deep into the units in the winter. The two-storey angled windows also provided an opportunity for private outdoor balconies, allowing residents to fully engage with their spectacular surroundings from the comfort of their own home.
