June 30, 2010 - Let there be light!


After more than 50 years, the light from the north facing Sawtooth windows is flooding the building. We immediately recognized the brilliance behind the design of the building with the abundant natural light and breeze moving the hot air out of the windows.

The original windows were operable, and positioned in the ceiling, created a draft to allow hot air out, while the North orientation prevented direct heat gain. This provided a very comfortable work environment on hot summer days before A/C.
