Discussion of the Studio 804 house is hidden over in the Kansas Suburbs board.  Given how seldom some of you make it to the actual Kansas suburbs, I thought you may not have seen it.  Studio 804 is a year-long seminar in which KU architecture students design, plan, and build a modular or prefabricated home.

Studio 804 house in Rosedale, 750 Shawnee Road in KCK

Over the last 4 years, they have built 4 homes in KCK -- 3 in Rosedale and 1 in downtown KCK.  They specialize in affordable, high-design, ecofriendly building in neighborhoods in and around the urban core.  The houses are typically sited to take advantage of their settings.  In a word, they are gorgeous (if you like that kind of boxy industrial modern thing (which I do)).  They are wrapping up the most recent project just west of 39th and State Line, and the open house is tomorrow from 10 am to 2 pm.  They may still be looking for a buyer!

For more info about the current project, check out the website (http://studio804.com/07%20new%20webpage ... %2019.html).  The website also has more info about their other projects and the work they've done in Lawrence.
