This is the construction of the Artist house in Lawrence Kansas.It uses several different types of construction types. The main house is of RASTRA, the upper floors are steel frame, the roof and exterior cladding is metal and the lower floors are stucco. there is a roof terrace with a rubber roof, there are recycled materials throughout and the whole job was done on a tight budget.
The design concept was to separate the building into different functions and shapes to break down the scale. One problem to be solved was the spanning of a drainage ditch from the street through a group of trees, so we built a bridge of railroad beams and concrete for the second story garage, leaving a hole for one of the pine trees in the driveway.
The bedroom below the garage also serves as the tornado safe room.
