In 2020, office build­ing design trends strive to save mon­ey and pro­vide a safe, healthy, and pro­duc­tive work­space.

ICF con­struc­tion cre­ates mod­ern struc­tures that are ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and have good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). ICF con­struc­tion is also strong, flex­i­ble, fast and easy to install. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, even with these many ben­e­fits, some archi­tects and con­trac­tors are reluc­tant to uti­lize it due to mis­con­cep­tions about ICF con­struc­tion.

A home’s per­for­mance begins at the ground inter­face. Foun­da­tions trans­fer struc­tur­al loads, sta­bi­lize the build­ing, and resist move­ment caused by soil and mois­ture.

Every movie the­ater starts as a con­cept, but bring­ing that con­cept to life takes pre­ci­sion, exper­tise, and the right mate­ri­als.

Any­body that knows ICF has said or heard the same thing. ​“What a great way to build-why don’t we see it going up every­where?”

Min­i­mal­ist archi­tec­ture mate­ri­als and design always aim for func­tion­al­i­ty. Fox Blocks presents six sug­ges­tions on mate­ri­als for design­ing a min­i­mal­ist house exte­ri­or.

In this arti­cle, we will explore how to build a foun­da­tion for a small house using insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs) and dis­cuss the advan­tages of choos­ing this mod­ern con­struc­tion method.

As tech­nol­o­gy has advanced, new con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged. Under­stand­ing the tra­di­tion­al mason­ry vs. wood frame rival­ry sets the stage for why a bet­ter alter­na­tive exists.
