This house is part of the revitalization of the Rosedale neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas. It is near the University of Kansas Medical Center, nestled on a relatively secluded site with a broad exposure to the southern sun. It was the first LEED Platinum certified house in the Kansas City metropolitan area and targets net zero energy use over a calendar year but produces as much energy as it uses.
The house’s barn-inspired design conforms to the neighborhood while updating the classic gable with clean lines and large expanses of glazing. Everything is streamlined including the PVs on the roof that are set flush with the wood rainscreen to retain the clean lines of the building’s form.
It is a 2,500 square-foot, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath residence that gives the owner plenty of space for a variety of living arrangements while minimizing the ecological footprint of their lives. A glass enclosed stair tower divides the building and anchors the design. On the first floor the stairs separates the open plan of the galley kitchen, dining room, and living areas from the utility spaces such as the half bath and the one car garage. It also is the access to the full basement where there is a laundry room and ample storage located around the advanced mechanical systems. On the upper floor the stair tower rests between a loft space that looks over the living room and a generous master bedroom suite that features a custom designed bathroom and a walk out balcony with views of the 39th street corridor.
The living spaces and the loft open to the site through a two-floor glazed wall that makes up the entire west elevation. It extends views to a wooded preserve that butts up to the property line and is protected from future residential or commercial development. The first floor opens to the south through the louvered glass wall that allows for passive solar gain and has operable windows for ventilation. Daylight floods the spaces when desired but can be controlled with sun screens.
The University of Kansas Department of Architecture invites applications for Studio 804, a comprehensive one-year, fully hands-on design-build experience for students who are at an advanced stage in their studies and committed to the continued research and development of affordable, sustainable and inventive building solutions. Students enrolled in Studio 804 work full time to design and build a new building every year. The widely-published program, under the direction of Distinguished Professor Dan Rockhill, has produced ten LEED Platinum buildings, three of which are Passive House-certified. To learn more, visit studio804.com and architecture. ku.edu/studio804. The university accepts transfers, 4+2 grads, B.Arch grads, M.Arch grads, or professionals — anyone who wants to be a better architect by having had the experience of designing and constructing a sophisticated building in its entirety from the ground up.
