In this idyllic spot in Silverthorne, Colorado, the Erlebach family sought to build their dream home that marries functionality with comfort. Through their collaboration with the architect, they were able to design a durable, sound-proof home out of Insulated Concrete Forms that captured their desired modern aesthetic.
The materials of choice - concrete, stone, glass and steel - would not only shape their home but also enhance their living experience. Nestled close to the national forest, they aimed to create a sanctuary with a focus on sound reduction and insulation. They found their solution in Nudura® ICFs. Yet, despite the proximity to a fire-prone environment, the home remained unscathed during a nearby wildfire, a testament to the resilience and safety of the ICF walls.
"The sound reduction is huge," said homeowner Josef Erlebach who noted that big storms disrupt neighbors living in stick-built houses, but they don't hear a thing in their ICF home.
