Resident architectural associate, Daniel Ware, worked on the Resonance House during his last semester at the University of Kentucky’s College of Design. Daniel acted as the site supervisor during construction.
Commenting on the effort to conserve materials during construction, Daniel Ware said, “We had a greater sense of what was going into the project, what was being purchased, and what was going out. The fun part was trying to use the materials to the greatest extent possible.” The result was a dramatic reduction in construction waste, a mere three tons compared to the standard 15 to 18 tons for a house of this size.
As the first LEED certified home in Kentucky, Resonance House makes a nice connection to the Commonwealth’s first LEED facility, Lincoln Hall at Berea College, renovated by EOP in 2004.

EOP is participating in the first-ever Art In Motion Bus Stop competition. Set along Versailles Rd., the bus stop blends the sculptural iconography of the Kentucky Bluegrass with simple construction components to create a striking composition that is inviting to the patron and cost-efficient for the $10,000 required budget.
Team members have combined pre-fabricated elements such as the bench and roof structure with site-case steel pipes to create an undulating façade that glows blue at night. Seen from the street, the Kentucky bluegrass supports the roof while sheltering the elements, with recessed lighting to allow for high visibility and safety. As part of the competition, the team decided to include an alternate proposal for an urban bus-stop location.
