The Jack Sprat Solarium transforms an already beloved Girdwood institution into a year-round destination — a glass pavilion that disappears into the mountain view while providing a fully conditioned dining environment.

South-facing fixed glazing captures passive solar gain throughout the winter months, while operable clerestory panels allow natural ventilation when summer temperatures peak.
