Students visited KC to meet Scott Wagner, director of NEAT housing at @mattierhodescenter and to see site for the studio's 3rd prototype design effort this fall. We dropped in on the 2018-19 studio's design/prefab project across from MRC's Jardin Jubilo. The house was completed by non-profit @emergingbuilders (finished pics coming soon) and we are excited to work with them again on the next house in the neighborhood.
Another exciting introduction to our 2nd of 3 project locations this fall: Emporia, KS where we will be developing new, sustainable workforce housing proposals with Ignite Emporia. Director Rob Gilligan showed us the prospective sites and explained how the studio work can lead the way in relieving this prospering community's critical affordable housing shortage.
Yesterday the studio had an excellent visit to the Hi-Crest neighborhood in Topeka, where Johnathan Sublet (@senttopeka board chairman) showed us around on a bus tour, introduced some neighbors, and shared all the amazing work SENT is doing. We're excited to be partnering with SENT on a new prototype design this fall.
Meet the Fall 2021 Net Positive Studio! This semester we're working on new affordable, net zero prototype homes in Emporia, Topeka, and Kansas City. We're 17 students strong and can't wait to develop some great new designs that address our region's affordability and sustainability challenges.
Inside the St. John's house, the bedrooms and bathrooms are full of peaceful daylight and character with the new occupants moved in. Affordable and net zero doesn't mean cold and boring!
Yesterday, the house in St. John celebrated completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony, organized by Stafford County Economic Development. Thank you to all of the students, studio supporters, and sponsors for seeing the project through. Check out our website later this summer for a wrap up on this home's story and for what the studio will be working on this fall.
