Partners for Livable Omaha (Livable Omaha) invites you to follow OurStory as we work with a multidisciplinary team of professionals, academics, and architecture students to create new design solutions for existing and emerging small home developers creating infill housing and accessory dwellings in the Omaha metro and beyond. 

Whether you're building for a loved one, or building for the love of your community, this collaborative design process and lessons learned will empower you to take action.

Designed in partnership with FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team), a collaborative student designbuild studio at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture, OurStory is an aging-ready home designed to meet the needs of Omahans who are ready to build new housing on vacant residential lots or an additional home on their own property. 

The OurStory home fills the gap in the local market for constructible and financeable designs that can function as standalone small homes, accessory dwelling units to existing homes, or as part of dense cluster communities. 

Starting in fall 2024, the OurStory home will be designed by FACT, under the mentorship of architect and educator Jeffrey L. Day, FAIA, and with input from professionals in the fields of home design, urban design, zoning and permitting, construction, aging in place, affordable housing, real estate, and financing. The design will be focused on livability, efficiency, adaptability, reduced construction costs, and flexibility.
