🏡 Tour Studio 804’s latest project with the KU architecture students who gave new life to a former brownfield site by designing and building a home that embodies the power of community collaboration, practical innovation, and optimistic creativity.
📍 1144 E. 12th St., Lawrence, KS
📅 Saturday, May 16
⏰ 9 a.m.–3 p.m.
🚗 Please park courteously; additional parking at Brook Creek Park
The home features a ventilated zinc rainscreen, polished concrete floors, and glue-laminated timber portal frames, along with the adaptive reuse of salvaged structural wood from a mid-century building.
♻️ ☀️ Designed to meet LEED Platinum certification, the house incorporates advanced energy strategies, including 16 solar panels, high-efficiency appliances and a triple-glazed curtain wall system that improves energy performance while enhancing daylight. A detached accessory dwelling unit allows the home to adapt to changing space needs.
See 🔗 link in bio for more about this sustainable home designed and built entirely by KU students.
