The vision of Red Oak Ele­men­tary is to be the mod­el of aca­d­e­m­ic excel­lence.

All build­ing codes in the USA and Cana­da spec­i­fy that plas­tic insu­la­tion (EPS) must be cov­ered by a ther­mal bar­ri­er equiv­a­lent to 15 min­utes of fire pro­tec­tion in hab­it­able spaces. If the base­ment is clas­si­fied as hab­it­able space, then gyp­sum board must be applied but does have to taped and filled. Check with your local build­ing offi­cial.

This eco-friend­ly project demon­strates the mul­ti­ple green con­struc­tion meth­ods avail­able.

This school has hun­dreds of com­plex shapes and sizes that were accom­mo­dat­ed by Fox Blocks.

No. Spec­i­fi­ca­tions in the Amer­i­ca Con­crete Insti­tute (ACI) do not lim­it the max­i­mum dis­tance con­crete can free fall. Engi­neer­ing stud­ies and reports have shown that free fall from up to 35′ doesn’t reduce con­crete qual­i­ty and there is no evi­dence of seg­re­ga­tion or weak­ened con­crete strength. ICF con­crete design calls for a high slump mix which assists in reduc­ing seg­re­ga­tion.

This design is now the new pro­to­type for future Clarksville-Mont­gomery Coun­ty ele­men­tary schools.

The chal­lenge for this build was to cre­ate a home that would appeal to a sophis­ti­cat­ed buy­er with fea­tures that an emp­ty nester mov­ing from a larg­er more expan­sive home would enjoy. The result is an ener­gy effi­cient home which cre­ative­ly uses space in an attrac­tive, lux­u­ri­ous, and cost effec­tive way.

It is not an over­state­ment to say that The Shore Road Project is the own­ers’ dream home.
