This delightful family home was designed by Hufft Projects, located in Roanoke Park, a neighborhood lined with sycamore trees in Kansas City, Missouri. Spread out over three levels, this 3,000 square foot home was constructed as the architect’s personal family home to be used as a showhouse. It displays a complete range of design and fabrication capabilities offered by the architect.
It serves three purposes: a model home for the clients, a testing ground for design prototypes, and the Hufft family home. The architect used this dwelling to explore new materials, test new construction methods, and ensure the functionality of new forms, ranging from brick coursing to cabinet pulls.
At least one prototype was tested in every room. While employing innovative design methods throughout, the home aligns with the surrounding neighborhood in its form, exterior materials, and 2 1/2 story proportions. With limestone, brick, cedar siding, ornamental ironwork, and native grasses, this dwelling is a contemporary take on a traditional building form.
What We Love: This delightful family home offers fantastic curb appeal and a cozy atmosphere with intriguing design elements throughout. Created for family living, kids’ play and workspaces are functional and fun. There is plenty of room for the family to also enjoy outdoor living, with a spacious patio, outdoor grill, and al fresco dining. Overall, this personal/model home has plenty to offer with plenty of inspiration to meet the needs of family living.
