Net Positive House

Ogden, Kansas

This project is sited in Ogden Kansas, on the corner of S. Elm and 14th street, neighboring an Ogden Elementary school. To the west of this house, a mirrored structure will be built in the near future, along with a house to the immediate north.

The Net Positive House was designed and built in 2022 for Habitat for Humanity, organized with the Workforce Solar Housing Partnership. The project included coordination with Manhattan Area Technical College, Flint Hills Job Corp, Flint Hills Renewable Energy and Efficiency Cooperative, and the Fort Riley Home Builders Institute.
The total housing expense per month for the net positive house was $980 below the average listed home in Manhattan. Of the Manhattan area, 48% of renters spend more than 35% of income on housing, making it an unaffordable market. This need for affordable housing not only drove the partnerships of the organizations involved, but resulted in a successful built house. The studio worked together to create shop drawings, fabricate SIP panels, and weld columns to be brought to site for a quick construction phase.
