The design­ers and con­struc­tion team were charged with cre­at­ing a sus­tain­able 7,500 sq. ft. mod­ern estate atop a stun­ning hill over­look­ing ranch­es and vine­yards in Mur­ri­eta, Cal­i­for­nia.

The vision of Red Oak Ele­men­tary is to be the mod­el of aca­d­e­m­ic excel­lence.

Fox Blocks are list­ed in the build­ing codes (IRC- Sec­tions R404, R611 or NBCC Part 9) with spe­cif­ic applic­a­bil­i­ty lim­its for res­i­den­tial con­struc­tion. If the project meets the applic­a­bil­i­ty lim­its with­in the build­ing code, a Pro­fes­sion­al Engi­neer may not be required (depen­dent on local build­ing depart­ment require­ments). A build­ing offi­cial has the right to request engi­neer­ing and in some regions all projects require a professional’s stamp. For any projects that exceed the applic­a­bil­i­ty lim­its, a Pro­fes­sion­al Engi­neer is required for the struc­tur­al design. Check with your local build­ing depart­ment.

Home­build­ing trends large­ly reflect the demands of the Mil­len­ni­als — the largest home-buy­ing group enter­ing the hous­ing mar­ket as first time home buy­ers.

Insu­lat­ed con­crete form blocks pro­vide a host of advan­tages over tra­di­tion­al CMUs, includ­ing bet­ter ener­gy effi­cien­cy, eas­i­er con­struc­tion, and improved resilience.
