Old-World Style Home and Vine­yard Prove ICF Resi­lence. Noble mate­ri­als like cus­tom heavy-tim­ber struc­tur­al truss­es, rafter tails, and out­look­ers give the home a nat­ur­al ranch look, while hand-cut, local­ly sourced, nat­ur­al stone accents pro­vide a sol­id foot­ing and time­less dura­bil­i­ty.

The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.

The for­ward-think­ing police depart­ment in Saugeen Shores want­ed a bul­let- proof, state-of-the-art sta­tion. The design was devel­oped with expan­sion in mind so the head­quar­ters can grow with the neigh­bor­hoods that the depart­ment serves.

The 5,200 square foot cus­tom home is built on a large rock on the side of a moun­tain.

Hof­brauhaus-Cleve­land required a 24,000 square foot addi­tion to accom­mo­date its grow­ing busi­ness.

The design flex­i­bil­i­ty of Fox Blocks can eas­i­ly enhance an adobe style home that is com­fort­able, ener­gy-effi­cient, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and durable.

Fox Blocks are com­pat­i­ble with all exte­ri­or fin­ish mate­ri­als and sys­tems – sid­ing, stuc­co, mason­ry veneer, sim­u­lat­ed stone, etc. The attach­ment of cer­tain exte­ri­or fin­ish­ing sys­tems is rec­om­mend­ed with exte­ri­or grade screws fas­tened into the exposed or con­cealed webs.

Rebuild­ing the Ken­wood Ele­men­tary Gym­na­si­um helped heal the com­mu­ni­ty.

Research by Texas Tech Wind Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Research Cen­ter has demon­strat­ed that ICF walls bet­ter pro­tect occu­pants of hous­es from wind­blown debris, than frame walls. Being hit by wind­blown debris is the most com­mon cause of injury dur­ing tor­na­does.
