In 2006 Delcambre designed this 2400 square foot Eichler-inspired house, which was not only was priced at an affordable $365,000, but it also was rated in the top 25 green buildings...commercial or residential...in the North Texas area and was ranked in the top 10th percentile of Energy Star certified homes.

For those of you interested in the learning more about how environmentally friendly Delcambre's designs are, this video gives you detailed specifications about the products used in the "468 House."

Well that is just fabulous! Running to check my lottery ticket to see if I can buy one of those gorgeous homes!
ReplyDeleteBest of both worlds...mid-century style and green living. Who could ask for more?
DeleteI'd live in either house, happily ever after!
ReplyDeleteOh, me too!!!
DeleteVery nice! How great it would be to a subdivision of these. The Florida Southern College has just built a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house, go to www.buildingtheusonian house.com. it would fit Wright in.
ReplyDeleteA small mid-century inspired neighborhood is being built in Dallas by architect Cliff Welch. I'd love to see Delcambre do the same kind of project with his affordable homes.
DeleteHere's a link to a post I did about Welch's project.

In 2015, CLT will be incorporated in the International Building cltarchitecture.com The recently adopted ANSI CLT Standard PRG 320 into the 2015 IBC, so you can request a design review based on it now and submit it as an alternate material, design and methods (AMM).
ReplyDeleteLike using a few 12-inch-diameter logs to start a camp fire, mass timber cross laminated timber manufacturers does not catch fire easily. In fact, CLT acts more like concrete. Mass timber is not conventional so it is very hard to light, and once it is lit, it wants to put itself out
A research project recently completed at FPInnovations showed that CLT panels have the potential to provide excellent fire resistance, often comparable to typical heavy construction laminated timber house assemblies of non-combustible construction. CLT panels can maintain significant structural capacity for an extended duration of time when exposed to fire.
Keep in mind, CLT is just another form of glue laminated timber (glulam). It is just wood, so it designs and builds clt architecture on the earlier technology. CLT panels, like other industry panels (precast concrete or SIP panels), provide easy handling during construction and a high level of prefabrication facilitation and rapid project completion.
A conventional wood installation crew with other panel CLT building experience can lift, set, and screw down CLT panels, and with a manufacturer provided installation plan, it goes even faster
CLT is manufactured CLT technology lumber from trees harvested from sustainably managed forests, and mostly Mountain Pine Beetle kill trees. If we don’t use them, they decay and emit carbon back into the atmosphere.
Wood is also the only primary structural material cross laminated timber solutions that grows naturally and is renewable. In fact, according to “Sustainable Forestry in North America,” during the last 50 years less than 2% of the standing tree inventory in the U.S. was harvested each year, while net tree growth was three percent.
