Studio 804 proves Jayhawks know how to swing a hammer.

Each year, the graduate students in this innovative class at the University of Kansas design and construct entire buildings within the span of a single semester. But they aren't run-of-the-mill houses. These students come up with designs that consistently win industry awards and draw international attention to KU's School of Architecture, Design and Planning.

To see their latest effort -- a hyper-efficient home in Kansas City, Kansas, click here for a slideshow. Or, better yet, check it out in-person during the open house (32 South 16th Street, KCK) this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
