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.

The con­trac­tor need­ed a build­ing solu­tion that would pro­vide a sus­tain­able devel­op­ment that would stim­u­late the local econ­o­my and pre­serve the his­toric feel of the com­mu­ni­ty. In addi­tion to the envi­ron­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, the com­mit­ment to pri­vate, ener­gy effi­cient units was a sell­ing point of build­ing with Fox Blocks ICF.

The home­own­ers want­ed to build a home that would be beau­ti­ful, func­tion­al, and sus­tain­able. They brought in an ICF expert con­trac­tor who select­ed Fox Blocks as the ide­al build­ing mate­r­i­al to accom­plish the home­own­ers goals. This home was built direct­ly into a nat­ur­al rock ledge and fea­tures large cov­ered porch­es and breeze­ways on the exte­ri­or and beau­ti­ful oak floors through­out the inte­ri­or.
