Mid-sized city. Big conversations. greenbuildermedia.com/blog/green-bui…

Turns out Kala homes AND Kala people are red carpet ready 📸✨

Proud to share that our Leawood Living project was recognized at the Design KC Awards Gala for Custom Homes (3,001-6,000 sqft). The home is a balance of midwest-modern design and high-performance building science and it feels just right Leawood Living was recognized at the Design KC Awards Gala for Custom Homes (3,001–6,000 SF). Midwest-modern design, high-performance building science, and a home that feels just right. @DesignkcM

If homes are a reflection of how we want to live, I’ll take a home for slow Sundays

Turns out affordability and world-class efficiency make a pretty great team. Our collaboration with The Way Home is now officially Phius CORE 2024 certified, proving high performance, comfortable living is for everyone. @PHIUS1

Our Passive House in Ivanhoe with The Way Home won a KCIC Sustainability Award last week! We are rethinking sustainability and affordability. Long-term durability, lower maintenance, healthier air, and lower energy bills. This is the kind of housing that supports families and neighborhoods for generations. #Sustainability #PassiveHouse #AffordableHousing #KansasCity #KalaBuilt @thekcic @PHIUS1

@kcstreetcar @UMKC @KansasCity How long do you anticipate the trip from the plaza to river market taking?

5⃣Days until the #kcstreetcar from The City Market to @UMKC is open! You can find some of your favorite spots or a new go to place along the nearly 6 mile route! The options are limitless, so what are you looking forward to, once you can ride the Main St Extension? @KansasCity

@2024dion Our definition of city has devolved into anywhere you can pour a thin layer of asphalt.

I truly cannot understand what would motivate someone to move to a non-coastal city in Florida. Horrible weather, horrible land use and transportation planning, way better New South options in the southern Appalachians

"Once, the best you could hope for from a building was that it didn’t collapse or leak. Then we asked them to stop emitting carbon. Now we’re asking them to heal the planet. Yet it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. A new wave of architects and material innovators are treating buildings less like fortresses and more like forests – structures that give back." discoverwildlife.com/environment/gr…

Year-long comfort, no natural gas required.

Fortunately the north loop is paralleled by another urban freeway that has adequate capacity to move traffic from both and is soon to be capped with a signature downtown park. We should tear the north loop out; we don't need it x.com/2024dion/statu…

"The most expensive way organizations can build is by thinking they can address sustainability as an add-on. In other words, taking a business-as-usual approach to design and then adding a bunch of solar panels on the roof." PREACH 🙏🙏 dallasinnovates.com/passive-design…

Interesting idea. So many more ways we can innovate in the building industry. bbc.com/reel/video/p0l…

"I have mistakenly called these 'secondary' or 'tertiary' benefits of passive building, but after further research, I think these are truly the primary benefits of what we do here at Phius." On comfort, resilience and the road ahead: ow.ly/H1jG50WrYuo
