Harrison Duplex
Architect: Sam De Jong, AIA
Photography: Kelly Callewaert
The Harrison Duplex is situated in an urban, historic Kansas City neighborhood and is designed, developed, owned and operated by the architect. This project is a prototype for developing “missing middle” housing and is an endeavor to realize design excellence and community impact despite a very limited budget.
Kivett Redux
Architect: FORWARD Design | Architecture
Photography: Bob Greenspan
This project involved a complete renovation and addition to the Jane Whitney Residence, originally designed by Kivett and Myers. Over time, two previous additions had disrupted the original design. To unify the space, a 200-square-foot extension was added to the rear of the house and restored much of the original structure. What was once a one-bedroom, two-bathroom home is now a spacious three-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence.
