A Live Look at Leawood Living with KCTV5

A Live Look into Leawood Living with KCTV5

We recently joined MyKC Live on KCTV5 to take a closer look inside the spring issue of designKC Magazine—spotlighting the Leawood Living home.


While the issue includes a range of projects from across the region, the Leawood Living home was selected for the live segment. It gave our team the opportunity to walk through the design, the build, and the decisions that shape how the home performs day to day.



Alongside collaborators and partners, we shared a closer look at what it takes to create a home that’s not only well-designed, but built to last.


Watch the full segment below and step inside the Leawood Living home with us.
