Element House Net+ House | Ogden, KS Fall 2020 | Prof. Gibson | ADS 7 • 3 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms • 1172 sq. ft. The concept was to create a home with the design, style, perceived space, and functionality of a much larger home in order to challenge the stereotypes of what a smaller house could be, and to further use this opportunity to create more of a showcase home for both Net+ and workforce/affordable housing architecture. The simple yet sculptural form and the horizontal lines of the house, juxtaposed with the vertical element of the plinth, call out and celebrate the flat prairie even as the house incorporates the landscaping into its design composition. The bedroom3/Flex Room allows the residents to shift square footage to where they need it most. The wall of built-ins conceal a closet and murphy bed and, combined with the sliding wall system, allows the room to convert from a bedroom to part of the living area in seconds.
