Insulated Concrete Form home.

This design incorporates Insulated Concrete Form Construction from the footing all the way to the roof line.  Other forms of construction cannot compare to the energy efficiency, sound transmission classification, structural integrity, and fire barrier ratings.  We are most proud of the many DHA signature items to include:

    1.  Hydronic radiant heat in every room including the garage, basement, driveway, porches, and sidewalks

    2.  90,000+ pound suspended, stained concrete, main level floor

    3.  Steel framed floors and interior walls

    4.  Icynene open cell sprayed-in foam attic insulation

    5.  Storage/living space above and/or below the four-car garage

    6.  Geo-thermal heating and cooling

    7.  Two solid masonry wood-burning fireplaces

    8.  Metal roof valley flashing

    9.  Hand crafted heavy timber stair case

    10.  Standard, below slab radon evacuation system

    11.  Green Building Initiative compliance

    12.  Energy Star Partnership with U.S. Department of Energy
