I have worked with him for the past 13 years. Our initial project together was a small, 10-unit building. A few years back we worked together on a 232 unit high-rise building and we are currently working on a project at my personal residence together. Tom lends his skills to the design and building of multi-unit developments and personal residences. He is a custom architect and his ideas, creativity and eye for design are incomparable. Tom and his team work with their clients every step of the way through the design process, the bidding and permitting. The team is always available and very responsive. He has proved himself to be a go to architect. **★★★★★ — Jon Miller, July 2015** > Tom Roszak is one of the best architects I've had the pleasure of working with. He possesses a razor sharp eye for design and a fresh approach to his work. Tom's a pleasure to work with. I strongly endorse him and enthusiastically recommend his work. ## Selected projects - [Fairbanks Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairbanks-residence-pj-vj~30010) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 11 - Description: Glass Stair by Thomas Roszak Architecture The combination of three apartments was done to create one free flowing living space with over 4,800 SF connecting the 39th and 40th floors, with amazing views of Chicago. A new glass stair replaces an existing wood stair in the penthouse residence, and allows light to pour deep into the home and creates a calming void in the space.

A: \[Sherwin Williams SW 6704\[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/color-dsvw-vd~3229231) **Q: Paint??** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that gray paint on the ceiling in the bedroom? A: That is just the raw concrete ceiling unpainted. **Q: where may I find the desk?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Room+Board **Q: Color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the citron paint color/ co.? It is really crisp and adds so much interest. Thank you A: Sherwin Williams SW 6704 **Q: How do you manage the heat in the summer?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the design but with so much glass, how do you prevent it from turning into a greenhouse in the summer? Do you use any special glass or ventilation design? A: The glass is an actual commerical curtainwall with high performance glass, low-E, double insulated, with argon in the gap. These same systems are used in high-rise buildings. All rooms have operable windows and sunshades. We have a Crestron building management system that maximizes the HVAC use in each zone, the house has 11 zones for effect use. The heating is a dual gas forced air and high efficiency gas boiler radiant floor system. **Q: What is the material used on the ceiling and the fireplace wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: ceiling is raw concrete, fireplace is raw concrete and finished white oak panels --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
