Project Overview

This past year on the project, from summer 2022 to spring 2023, we have been working on the development of the design of The Alley House, a net zero energy, high performance, sustainable, affordable two-family dwelling for the Near Eastside of Indianapolis. Construction began in October 2022 and students have been a part of this process working with sub-contractors, detailing elements like the stair screen and rail details, built-ins, and building all components of the kitchen cabinetry as well as the media wall and work space. Making decisions on everything from the insulation in the wall cavity to the paint color on the cladding has been an intense process, especially as we meet our goals of high performance, sustainability, and affordability.
