The Solution:
Utilize all of the ICF systems available to provide the homeowners with all of the goals and benefits they had on their list.  Logix ICF was used for this project.  The 8? ICF was used in the garage and foundation portion, while transitioning to a 6? ICF for the remainder of the walls. The end result was a design with significant open interior space completed with large floor spans eliminating the need for supporting beams and posts, and having high ceilings on all levels. In this project we have accomplished durability, comfort, energy efficiency and soundproofing. 

Some of the details include radiant floor heat in the basement and garage along with the bathrooms accompanied by a multi-zone mini split system with heat pumps for both AC and heat.  The home also features an all-electric set up for appliances, heating and cooling, and water heaters, which allow it to be off-grid if accompanied by solar panels. Some other features include tankless water heaters, better air quality with an HRV system, and LED lighting throughout the home.
