Lawrence, Kansas, USA
Located near the river, parks, and bustling downtown of Lawrence, Kansas, Indiana Street House by Studio 804 is a nonprofit organization dedicated to pioneering sustainable, affordable, and innovative building solutions.
The residence at 519 Indiana Street recently won the 2023 American Architecture Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Center for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.
It’s also close to the University of Kansas campus and nearby bus stops, which expands travel possibilities to other parts of Lawrence.
The house on the north side is above the property line and the house on the south side is less than two feet from the property line.
Due to the narrow space, we chose to place the main living space above the landscape, reaching the second floor, to have more exposure to daylight and a wide view of the community.
The first floor has a slimmer profile to allow more outdoor space at ground level.
The grade drops 11 feet from front to back, and the house sits on the slope so it appears to emerge from the site.
The second floor sits on 22 steel columns, opening to the east and west canopies.
The master bedroom and its cantilevered deck are located on the east side, welcoming the morning sun and reaching out to a large oak tree at the front of the site.
The living room and its large deck are located at the west end, allowing one to watch the sunset through the skyline of trees at the back of the site.
The primary second-story siding is Fundermax, a phenolic high-pressure laminate developed in Austria.
It is a by-product of sawmill lumber production. Domestic sassafras is used for floors, walls and soffits.
Concrete/grass pavers ensure the project meets the required ratio between permeable and impermeable surfaces and reduce stormwater runoff.
Overhangs, bespoke louvres, sun protection, high-performance glazing and well-positioned operable units ensure the building does not overheat, while also harnessing winter sun warmth and providing cross-ventilation, bringing in fresh cold air.
This project has received USGBC LEED Platinum certification.
