Mod 3, constructed during the spring semester of 2006, is located in the historic Strawberry Hill neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas. Situated at the highest point of the hill and overlooking the city skyline, Mod 3 remains connected to the historic neighborhood and urban core while advancing affordable housing and sustainable design.

The prominent location is matched by the house’s striking form and rainscreen cladding of Douglas fir strips, giving the structure the appearance of being perched atop the hill. The design promotes natural cross-ventilation, while floor-to-ceiling glazing on the south facade brings in natural light and promotes solar heat gain.
