Sneak Peak at Studio 804 Open House for This Weekend

Well I got a sneak peak at the Studio 804 project this week and I plan on making another trip back this Saturday to see the greenest house in Kansas City finished (or almost finished). They had a lot of work ahead of them when I was there.

Studio 804, from the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Planning will host an Open House of their most recent project this Saturday, May 16, 2009 from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. The house is located near KU Med, at 1716 Springfield, Kansas City, KS 66103. Parking is located at the school north of the site. Be sure to see the other Studio 804 projects in the neighborhood.

See ya there!
