Response:
This compact gem in Kansas City’s historic Westside is currently under construction. Driftworks is honored to be working in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, with spectacular homes - both historic and modern - throughout this multicultural district.
With our clients’ choice to relocate their family into the urban core, shortening their drive to work, and selecting a site that allows for proper solar orientation and a compact footprint, they have done 75% of the work of establishing a truly green residence before they even broke ground!
Additional sustainability considerations include strategically operable ventilation to allow cross breezes; specification of framing dimensions to minimize waste; high performance insulation and glazing; and selection of landscape species based on minimal maintenance and water usage.
