Mixed-Use Busi­ness and Res­i­dence Blends His­toric Charm and Mod­ern Design. A For­ti­fied Gold mixed business/​residence with an impres­sive bal­ance of clas­si­cal his­toric and mod­ern fea­tures.

Flori­da, often hailed as the Sun­shine State, is no stranger to the annu­al threat of hur­ri­canes. As a res­i­dent or poten­tial home­own­er, one can’t help but feel the loom­ing pres­ence of these pow­er­ful storms. In light of this, the demand for hur­ri­cane-proof hous­es in Flori­da has grown expo­nen­tial­ly. Now, more than ever, home­own­ers are seek­ing solu­tions that not only ensure the safe­ty of their loved ones, but also pro­vide a sus­tain­able and ener­gy-effi­cient lifestyle.

In this arti­cle, we will explore how to build a foun­da­tion for a small house using insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs) and dis­cuss the advan­tages of choos­ing this mod­ern con­struc­tion method.

Green build­ing con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged as options for not only reduc­ing envi­ron­men­tal foot­prints, but also cut­ting down ener­gy expens­es. These meth­ods are based on eco-friend­ly prac­tices and mate­ri­als, and are aimed at pro­mot­ing both envi­ron­men­tal and eco­nom­ic sus­tain­abil­i­ty.

While it’s great news that we’re not cur­rent­ly using more ener­gy to run our homes, the study also ​“rais­es impor­tant con­cerns about mak­ing home ener­gy use more effi­cient.” If American’s time at home con­tin­ues to rise, home effi­cien­cy will need to as well.
