A Beautiful Concrete Home

Writer's picture: jkeppersjkeppers

The generously sized windows of this home highlight spectacular views of the neighboring woods and Lake Superior.


The home itself is made of insulated concrete forms (ICFs). The exterior walls and even the floor system are concrete; only the roof structure and interior partitions are conventional wood framing. This creates great energy efficiency and soundproofing: The walls combine R-21+ levels of continuous insulation with the thermal mass of concrete.
