Rural Studio and the 20K House INTRODUCTION

The Rural Studio of Auburn University is one of the most famous design-build architecture programs in the United States. Located in Newbern, Al, the Rural Studio views architecture not merely as a theoretical idea, but as something that can have a real impact on the everyday lives of community members. Because of this mindset, Rural Studio began the 20K housing project in 2004.

The Two-Year Journey OPHELIA’S HOME

In the Fall of 2019, the first team of students was introduced to our new client, Ms. Ophelia. She lives less than a mile away and across the street from our previous client, Ms. Patrick. Ms. Ophelia has lived in this neighborhood all her life and is a beloved member of the Newbern community. She needed a place for her and her son to live so we decided to adapt a previous 20k home to meet her individual needs.

The team of Fall 2020 completed the construction documents and was even able to raise the walls and roof. Over the summer, the house’s foundation had settled and cracked, but this was fixed with helical piers.

with Ms. Ophelia and found that her preference for sleeping in the living room necessitated a new design called the “quarter bedroom.” This quarter bedroom is essentially a nook built into the living room that provides privacy for Ophelia, but also allows her to maintain her current lifestyle.

The Two Year Journey OPHELIAS HOME

The team decided to adapt Joanne’s Home, a project built in 2011. One of Ms. Ophelia’ sons is in a wheelchair, so they altered the plan to include an FHA compliant entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. Also Ms. Ophelia’s preference for sleeping in her living room prompted the idea of a “quarter bedroom.” This quarter bedroom is essentially a nook built into the living room that provides privacy for Ms. Ophelia, while also allowing her to maintain her current lifestyle.

The team of Fall 2020 made great strides in putting our team in a position to complete the house. Our team of Spring 2021 had nine members divided into three groups of three: the Enclosures team, the Interiors team, and the Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing team. We began with four walls and a roof, but by the end of the semester, we were able to give her the keys to a fully-completed home filled with cabinets designed and crafted with our own hands.

Then came the Spring team of 2020. This team was tasked breaking ground and building the foundation. Due to the covid pandemic, initial plans were interrupted. However, they took the set back as an opportunity to get a head start on the design work for the next team. They even began a proposal for creating customized cabinetry for Ophelia’s home – an idea which sparked the creation of this book.

TEAM OF 2020

Using the CNC Router THE SPRING CLASS OF 2020

The team of Spring 2020 began by designing the first iteration of cabinetry for Ms. Ophelia’s Home. They divided into teams based on rooms and each team created a very customized and individualized design. Through their budget calculations, they theorized that the challenge was feasible– there was a possibility that we could build high-quality cabinets for less than what could be purchased from Lowe’s or Ikea. After this discovery, the team experimented with the idea of using a CNC router and integrated handles. Even though they were interrupted by the pandemic, this team was able to produce a mock-up of their design and a preliminary manual for the budget and construction.

THE SPRING TEAM OF 2021

Using the Table Saw

Our team of Spring 2021 took what they started and ran with it. We decided that we needed a more cohesive design that would not only simplify construction, but also create a unifying language more appropriate for such a small house.

built on the ideas from the previous team. We decided that we needed a more cohesive design that would not only simplify construction, but also create a unified language more appropriate for such a small house.

We began by re-designing the cabinetry for Ms. Ophelia. The cabinets were designed to meet her individual needs but were also standardized so they could be used for future homes or other organizations such as Front Porch Initiative.

We began by re-designing the cabinetry for Ms. Ophelia. The cabinets were designed to meet her individual needs, but were also standardized so they could be used for future homes or other organizations such as Front Porch Initiative.

As for construction, we wanted to experiment with using only the tools we had on site. This meant precisely cutting everything by hand using a plunge saw and table saw. This also meant abandoning the idea of integrated handles. After multiple iterations of handrouted handles, we decided that additional cabinetry hardware was necessary for timeefficiency, aesthetics, and durability.

We grouped ourselves into teams based on our strengths and created an assembly line for the most efficient means of production. With passion, determination, and countless consecutive 14-hour workdays, we were finally able to accomplish our goal. We had created a house full of beautifully crafted cabinets at a lower price and higher quality than what is available on the market. We are making big strides here at Rural Studio and proving that nothing can get in the way of hard work, determination, and good design.

The goal was to create a module that could be utilized and adapted throughout the entire house. For example, the needs of the bathroom cabinetry are different from those of the kitchen, so that module was modified accordingly to fit those needs.

The module made things simple. It gave us something to reference back to…a standard. All cabinets were designed to hang at the same datum, but their heights vary according to the function of the space.

KITCHEN

Sub-Header

For the design of the kitchen cabinetry, we strove to maximize storage space and accessibility. The double lower cabinet in the kitchen provides the standard for all other cabinet modules. The Fair Housing Act played a major role in developing the interior layout of Ms. Ophelia’s home, so we had to reconfigure the fridge and dishwasher to meet those standards.

For the kitchen cabinetry design, we prioritized both storage quantity and accessibility. The lower double cabinet is the standard for all other cabinet modules. The dimensions of this module were determined by common household measurements. For example, the counter height was 36” tall by 25” deep, and the backsplash was 15” tall. Sometimes our modular dimensions were interrupted by a kitchen appliance such as the fridge or the stove vent. In such cases, we modified that particular cabinet to accommodate these appliances.

The design of the cabinetry itself was also based off of standardized measurements. For example, the counter height was 36” tall by 25” deep and the backsplash was at a standard of 15”. Sometimes our modular dimensions were interrupted by a kitchen appliance such as the fridge or the stove vent. In such cases, we modified the module design to accommodate these appliances.

Half-way into the design of the cabinets, Ms. Ophelia requested a space for a dishwasher. Although this appliance is not typical in a 20K house, we wanted to try to fulfill her request. We were able to salvage a FHA-compliant space for an 18” dishwasher. However, this space could also be used for another cabinet or as space for a trash can if desired. Throughout this design hiccup, we struggled with the conflicts of designing for the specific needs of a client verses designing for versatility. In the end, we managed to find a happy medium. Ms. Ophelia was left with a kitchen that maximized storage space, enhanced accessibility, and fulfilled her individual needs.

BEDROOM

Sub-Header BEDROOM

The bedroom closet mainly focuses on versatility by having a free space under the hanger and providing two types of storage options, an open shelf and a double cabinet with two doors. We designed only upper cabinets for the bedroom as Ms. Ophelia needs a place to put her own furniture. The placement of the cabinets was driven by the hanger which is 5’ high from the floor. The right double cabinet is modular throughout the house, but the length of the left open shelf was determined by the width of the closet space.

The bedroom closet prioritizes versatility by providing a free space under the hanging rod and providing both open and closed cabinetry. We decided to include only upper cabinets for the bedroom as Ms. Ophelia needed floor space for her own furniture. The height of these cabinets was driven by the hanging rod which is five feet from the floor. The right double cabinet is modular, but the open shelf was adapted to address the width of the closet.

NOOK

Sub-Header NOOK

The incorporation of the nook is the highlight of Ms. Ophelia’s home. Serving as Ms. Ophelia’s bedroom while also existing as part of the living room, the nook is the most unique space in the house. To accompany this character, we introduced a new type of module, the dresser, and modified the upper-short cabinet. The dresser has three equal-sized drawers that can provide enough storage space for her clothes and miscellaneous items. Also, the dimensions for the upper cabinet are the same with the ones in the utility room and bedroom, but we added a divider in the middle and removed the right door as an open shelf for more storage options and easy access.

nook is the most iconic part of Ophelia’s home as it is truly a “living room’s bedroom.” The nook contains a lower drawer module and upper cabinet modules. The lower module has three equally-sized drawers for clothes and miscellaneous items. The upper cabinet module is the same as the bedroom and utility modules. However, the open shelving was altered to address the width of the nook.

UTILITY

Sub-Header UTILITY

In the utility room, it was obvious that there needed to be ample amounts of storage. We started the design of this space by placing a cabinet above the washer and dryer. The size of this double upper cabinet was determined by the original modular dimensions and the necessary clearances from the washer and dryer. We also felt that an open shelf was a viable option to include in the utility space, as it allows for easy access to frequently used items. We decided to attach the open shelf to the left side of the double cabinet, as it is out of site from the living room and kitchen. Another double cabinet is placed on the opposite wall, above the ice chest, serving as additional storage space for

Sub-Header BATHROOM

In the bathroom we went with a wall mounted countertop along with a knee guard attached underneath the sink and a medicine cabinet with a mirror mounted above the sink. Both of these items broke the repetitive modularity seen throughout the house. The countertop and knee guard were made different to adapt to Fair Housing Act (FHA) standards, to allow someone in a wheelchair to access the sink without requiring any rearranging of cabinets/faux cabinets. Installing the knee guard was necessary to adhere to FHA standards for protecting someone who is paralyzed from being burned on their leg(s). The medicine cabinet was created to allow for more storage of small-scale items to help relieve the countertop of unwanted clutter.

For the bathroom, we designed a wall-mounted countertop with a knee guard attachment and a mirrored medicine cabinet above the sink. Both of these items broke the modularity seen throughout the rest of the house. The countertop and knee guard needed to comply with the Fair Housing Act (FHA) which would allow someone in a wheelchair to access the sink and/or prevent him from burning his legs. The medicine cabinet was designed to store small-scaled items and relieve the countertop of unwanted clutter.

CONCLUSION

MOVING IN

On Wednesday, April 21st, we celebrated the completion of Ophelia’s Home with a ribbon-cutting ceromony. Ms. Ophelia, her famiy, and our Spring Class of 2021 invited everyone inside to admire the new home. We gave a brief presentation on our cabinet journey and explained how we were able to build our own high-quality cabinets at the same price as store-bought cabinets. In the end, Ms. Ophelia received nineteen beautiful cabinets and a charming new home for her family.

Construction Guidelines

Applying Glue

fit all the pieces before applying glue. Apply glue liberally to both surfaces.

Dry fit all the pieces before applying glue. Apply a liberal amount of glue to both gluing surfaces.

Wipe off any excess glue with a damp cloth. Hold the pieces in place until the glue hardens. Allow the glue to set properly overnight.

Remove excess glue with a damp cloth. Hold the pieces in place until the glue hardens. Allow the glue to set properly overnight.

Clamping

When clamping, never clamp directly onto the finished surface. Find scrap pieces to position where you desire to clamp in order to not leave a clamp mark on the finished surface.

clamping, never clamp directly onto the finished Find pieces to place in between clamp and cabinet piece. This will prevent the clamp from leaving an indention on the finished surface.

Use the clamp and tighten until the gap is closed. Either use your finger to feel or look to see if the two pieces are flush together.

Tighten the clamp until gap is closed. Use your finger to make sure the two pieces are flush.

Using Nail Guns

confirming that the pieces are flush, use the gun to lock in place.

After double checking that the pieces are flush, use the nail gun to lock in place.

Make sure the air pressure is between 80-100 psi. Use 18-gauge brad nails, then fill the holes with wood putty. (if desired)

Using Screws

Inspect which side of the face frame is desired to be on display, drill into the opposite side. Use the pocket screw jig to drill the holes.

Determine which side of face frame you would like to and drill into the opposite side. Use the pocket screw jig to drill the holes.

Using the face frame jig, align the two pieces together and use a clamp to keep them flush. Then, use a drill to screw in 1-1/4” pocket screws into the face frame.

Applying Oil

Make sure you are in a clean area before starting the finishing process. Tape off the end grain in order to not get oil on it. Take a damp rag and clean the surface. Allow that to dry.

WHAT WE LEARNED

Learning From Our Mistakes

Modularity

The main reason for revisions to the previous iterations of the cabinets for Mrs. Ophelia’s Home was to improve of the modularity. We wanted to have a small collection of cabinets, drawers, and shelves that could be modified slightly, typically by adjusting the size, to adapt to the intended area of installation. Examples of where it was necessary to break the modularity include the small double cabinets in the kitchen above the stove and fridge and also the set of drawers in the nook which were widened to expand from one wall to the other.

Pre-Construction

Always make a mock-up. Originally, we felt confident in our capabilities in cutting out and putting together cabinets, and then we were given the task of producing one cabinet. Though we had spent countless hours in producing digital renderings, nothing could have prepared us for the real thing. Through making a physical mock-up, we learned many things that hadn’t been thought of beforehand, such as, but not limited to

• How to use the drawer slider installation jig

• Double up the face of the drawers to be rid of a gap surrounding the drawers

• Invest in a corner clamp, it will ensure all boxes are square

• Address the end grain, should it be left exposed or wrap it with an edge banding strip

• Routing drawer handles difficulties

• Pay attention to the wood grain for all cabinet door faces and face frames

• Don’t use wood fill putty, just drive the nails into the wood

• Avoid putting nails in through the face frame

• Don’t wax cabinets until after installation. Because of the results of the mock-up, we were able to adjust the final process of cabinet construction which went smoothly compared to the predecessor step.

and Rural Studio for creating an environment where students’ ideas can become a reality.

We especially want to thank Steve Long, Emily McGlohn, and Chelsea Elcott for their ongoing effort, patience, and dedication to the success of every project. Steve guided us toward professionalism and perfection. Emily taught us how to conduct ourselves by showing us the process, allowing us to make mistakes, and then patiently helping us find a way to fix those mistakes. Chelsea was our friend and go-to person to ask

questions. We are so thankful to have had the honor to learn from them this semester. Without their guidance and fortitude, our goals would have been unattainable.
