	Excerpt from "A Light Touch" Chicago Magazine 10/2002 The developer Thomas Roszak figures a central drawback to living in a tightly packed urban neighborhood is the lack of natural light. So when he designed the residential structure at 433 North Wells Street, he put sunlight right at the center of the building. The core of the building is empty, a six-story light well with windows all the way down to illuminate each of the ten condominiums. To enhance the light, Roszak rimmed the light well with curved polished-metal panels designed to aim the sun's rays toward all six residential floors. "It makes the interior windows act like exterior windows," says Erik Tivin, who bought a unit on the fifth floor. "The two secondary bedrooms get a lot of light; in other buildings I looked at, they didn't." Two condos of the building's ten were still available at press time. One, a 4,100-square-foot bi-level penthouse-with a skylight and double-height windows in the living room-is priced at $1.25 million. A fourth-floor unit with 2,400 square feet goes for $629,000. Initially, Roszak was calling his building "The Sunne on Wells," reasoning that the Middle English spelling-of "sunne" for "sun"-would draw attention to the illuminating design. "But nobody could figure out how to pronounce it," he says.
