About the East Lawrence House
The East Lawrence House in Kansas is a forward-looking sustainable home designed by Studio 804, a nonprofit design/build program at the University of Kansas. It incorporates renewable energy, advanced insulation, and natural daylighting, achieving LEED Platinum certification, recognized globally as a benchmark for sustainable building.
Our Role in the Project
For this project, we provided bathroom vanities that shaped the everyday spaces of the home. In a design focused on sustainability and long-term durability, fixtures like these may seem small but play a key role in making the house practical and built to last. Through this collaboration, we had the chance to highlight our brand’s focus on quality, comfort, and design that enhances daily life.
Why It’s Important
- Sustainable homes prove how intentional choices, both big and small, create long term impact.
 - From renewable energy systems to bathroom vanities, every detail contributes to sustainable living.
 - When designers, builders, and brands work together, these ideas can move from vision to reality.
 
The East Lawrence House demonstrates how global sustainable design can spark new approaches in local communities. In Canada, as the housing market shifts toward eco-friendly building, projects like this point to new possibilities for future homes.
Key Takeaways
The East Lawrence House reminds us that sustainability isn’t just about major upgrades but also about the small details that make a home function well in everyday life. For Canadians, this shows that even the simplest fixtures can help support a bigger vision for sustainable living. Our hope is that projects like this inspire new ideas for how design choices, big or small, can shape more sustainable home design in Canada.
