The CornCloudHouse is a proposed two bedroom/two bath 1340SF single-family home with the potential to be zero-energy.
The design of the CornCloudHouse speaks to the contrast of past, present, and future of Greensburg. The home.s front pays homage to the vernacular forms of Kansas farmhouses, with single gable, deep shed roofed front porches clad in cement composite clapboard siding the color of Kansas cornfields. The form of the house contrasts as it pulls away from the street . evolving and expanding just as Greensburg looks to evolve and expand into its future - transferring into recycled rolled metal siding finished the color of the Kansas noon sky.
Sustainable techniques and technologies are utilized with the CornCloudHouse. Insulated concrete forms serve as the primary, partially recycled structure of the house and provides substantial insulation which will be observed through an honesty window. An education program is proposed as an .entertainment center. that provides sustainable information on the home.
The modular planning concept of the home allows for flexibility in the number of bedrooms and baths based upon user needs and budgets.
