3716 Springfield, a zero-energy home, built by our intern Molly Fogarty (shown far right, installing Serious Windows) and her studio-mates from Studio804, was recognized at Best Green House of the Month for November 2009 by GreenSource Magazine.

Built to LEED for Homes Platinum standards in Kansas City, Kansas, the house has 22 solar panels, a residential wind turbine, a geothermal heat pump, ERVs, recycled materials, low flow faucets, dual flush toilets and reclaimed and FSC certified wood. For more information about the house e-mail: molly@harrisonarchitects.com.

The home, built by students from the University of Kansas, is also mentioned in the Dec/Jan 2010 issue of Dwell Magazine saying, "The program spits out talented alumni like fizzy water through a seltzer nozzle." (Dan Maginn)

It is also featured in the February 2010 issue of Metropolis Magazine in "Platinum at a Price" by Daniel Akst.
