Heavy building materials that retain heat.
Preventing spikes in demand from temperature fluctuations, and warming up cool homes at night.
Radiant floors throughout warmed by solar-thermal and geothermal energy sources 95% of the year are inserted into concrete floors.
New Concrete (fly ash) made of 95% recycled content steel rebar
Open spaces maximize interior views and natural light diffusion while minimizing interior floor area.
302 Tons Concrete (fly-ash) were added to the interior
10 Tons quartz stone flooring were installed over the concrete
Concrete Floor System
2nd Floor Structure – Extension
Scrap wood salvaged from the home was used to form new concrete floors.
Temporary truss hanger system was BORROWED, and returned to Hambro once concrete sets.
Use of parabolic steel mesh within slab:
1) Reduces concrete cost
2) Creates “Springy” floor
3) Eliminates structural columns
Identifying radiant lines in concrete using a thermal imaging camera and buckets of ice water.
