The work of 20 University of Kansas architecture graduate students was given the Home of the Year Award by Architecture magazine.
Architecture students receive major award
CAMPUS
Criteria for the award is overall design excellence, creativity, programmatic and site sensitivity, and formal expression, according to a press release from the Office of University Relations.
The Modular1 house was prefabricated in Lawrence for more than two months and then was transported in pieces to Kansas City, Kan. Dan Rockhill, professor of architecture and urban design, said it took another month to put the house together once it was on site.
The two-bedroom, one-bath house was completed in May. Rockhill said a buyer was lined up to purchase the house in March.
Rockhill said the open spaces and lighting are the highlights of the house.
He said the house was inspired by a sense of need to provide housing that was both affordable and modern.
"The house is very unusual," he said. "You'd have to look at it to understand."
Pictures of the house are available at http://studio804.com.

Students, faculty and staff can call JayWalk to have a male and female student walk them anywhere on campus and up to three blocks off-campus.

University homepage gets new, sleek look
The University of Kansas homepage went through a makeover Sunday at 10 p.m.
Todd Cohen, University Relations, said it was an overdue change.
The white background and vertical picture were replaced with a blue background and rotating pictures across the upper portion of the screen.
He also said the new homepage was an incremental step in an effort to completely redesign the Web site.
A chancellor's page was also added in order to better educate students and Web site visitors of happenings through the Office of the Chancellor.
"He's obviously the leader of the University." Cohen said
The site allows people to do "one-stop shopping" to find information about the University and historical information about Chancellor Robert Hemenway and previous chancellors.
The designers of the Web site are Lisa White, Web communications manager for the Office of University Relations, and Julie Loats, enterprise Web services director, Cohen said.
He called White a "top-drawer" designer that has worked on major corporation Web sites such as IBM. White will also help design the 2012 Olympic Web site.
A link for the survey is located under Featured Links under "About this Home Page" at www.ku.edu.
Students and Web site visitors can complete a survey regarding the new look for the homepage.
Cohen said the results would be taken into consideration in order to improve the Web site and make it easier to use.
