Location:  6510 S. 170th St., Omaha, NE

Size:  3,400 square feet

Concept:  Combine the generic layout of a Jim Estes house with a Frank Lloyd Wright playroom (above the garage) and inglenook.  Survey the surrounding houses and do everything "one level better".  Be unique but fit in.  Energy Star.
