About the Build Team
Turning drawings into a net‑zero home
The Build Team translates drawings into full-scale prototypes through tight coordination of fabrication, logistics, and on-site construction—bridging the gap between design intent and reality.
Our 2025–2026 Build Team is designing a new net‑zero home in Rantoul, IL. After purchasing the site and completing multiple site analyses, the team is finalizing drawings with company partners and aiming to break ground this winter—creating a repeatable model for affordable, net‑zero housing in suburban and rural communities.
