Alley House

Eco-Friendly Home, Alley House

A team of R. Wayne Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning (ECAP) students—with faculty leads, design advisors, and interdisciplinary consultants—planned, designed, and helped build an award-winning, energy-efficient, eco-friendly duplex. This duplex, named “Alley House,” will be affordable housing for two families on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis.

Alley House was ECAP’s project for the 2023 Build Challenge portion of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon®, an international competition for which students create net-zero energy buildings powered by renewables. ECAP was named 2023 Build Challenge Overall Winner. ECAP’s community partners on Alley House were Englewood Community Development Corporation, Gratus Development, and Cedar Street Builders.
