Built-Tough in Traverse City
This rugged Michigan home was built to be environmentally friendly
Green Building
This homeowner owned a concrete ready-mixed concrete company. He knew the value of concrete and knew he wanted a concrete home because it’s energy efficient, meets green building standards, and would be an Energy Star home.
The home is two-thirds concrete—basement and first floor—while the second story is wood. The on-the-water site was challenging, so we experimented with using the E-MAXX system.
The home has 4’ footings, 10’ basement and 10’ first floor walls.
This was a huge learning experience that went very well.
