The GreenHouse Chicago was conceived as a sustainable model for urban living, a demonstration project for green technologies and an imaginative adaptive reuse of an outmoded industrial structure. This live/work space for artists Frances Whitehead and Jim Elniski employs numerous systems, including wind turbines, geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, a green roof and a rooftop greenhouse. Among the first of its kind in Chicago, the project was partially funded by the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois, and has evolved to represent "the complete set" of available systems, amenities and ethical design principles.
