KSU Pres. Linton and leadership from partner organizations met in Ogden today and visited the AY2020-21 build, with help from Manhattan Area Habitat for Humanity, who introduced us to the new homeowner; on a hot day the house was running on 100% solar. It was great to see the students' design work transformed into a home.
Introducing the Fall 2022 Net Positive Studio! We are excited to be working with Friends of Johnson County Developmental Supports this semester on sustainable home prototypes for adults with disabilities, which kicked off this week with a tour of sites and a chance to meet some of the staff and residents.
Today is Groundbreaking day for the build 31 house, we saw a lot of community members come support the event to break ground. We are excited to see the site progress!!
An asymmetrical roof pitch versus a symmetrical one was one of our bigger design debates. The symmetrical pitch was ultimately what was chosen, but in this iteration you see the first sketches of our built in bench and bookshelf at the entry. This component became a highlight of the entry and created a focus on the ceiling pitch. So, we continued to iterate it for simplicity and functionality, which is the favorite part of some students in designing this home. Stay tuned for the bench closeup!
Work work working on the window header of the mock-up. Students in teams of three completed the walls and roof, getting real hands on experience of how SIPs are constructed and put together! We love our SIP system! 😍
Where it started… the site originally was on the west side of a lot that was to be split in half. After soil and compaction testing our site moved to the east side, however the lot remains part of plans to build a mirrored house in a stick frame construction. This was a point of interest to compare prefab with Raycore, our supplier, and traditional stick build.
