Consul Apartments was built on a site where a CMU and wood framed apartment building once stood.  The original building was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the new building had to utilize the previous footprint, with zero room for deviation. 
 

Built to withstand winds of more than 140 miles per hour, the hurricane house at the University of Florida’s Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center is one of four demonstration facilities located around the state of Florida.  The hurricane house demonstrates that it is possible to build a home that will come through a category 4 or 5 hurricane withstanding winds of more than 150 mph with little or no damage.

Energy efficiency and the ability to meet the engineering requirements for building on an earthquake fault in the State of California, were the main reasons ARXX Prime was chosen for this project.  This was the first DSA ICF project in the State of California.
 

Located in Tallahassee Florida, this project required a building system that provides resistance to high wind and extreme storm conditions.  ARXX Steel was a natural choice for this project.  The 24" high Steel forms with furring strips 6 inches on center allowed the walls to rise quickly and provide resistance to winds in excess of 150 mph. 

 

The Sienna Villas at Longview in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, were designed to have the feel and luxury of Tuscany, with the hidden safety and energy-efficient advantages provided by the ARXX ICF wall system. The complex consists of 124 total units and the builder is offering homeowners savings on utility costs and temperature-stable comfort all year ’round.   Even more comforting than their heating and cooling bills is the fact that the ARXX ICFs give their homes the strength to withstand severe natural disasters.

With torrential rain and wind-blown debris during the hurricane season, developers in the Chesapeake Bay region of the USA, face the challenge of building structures that can withstand severe weather.  Using ARXX Steel, the developers of Lynnhaven Dunes project in Virginia Beach, created a community that is both sustainable and energy efficient, exemplifying the environmentally responsible philosophy of sustainable development.

When Dr. Kamelson decided to build his dream home in Savannah Georgia, living in a safe and secure structure was his first priority.  The superior strength that ARXX ICFs provide made the decision an easy one.  Having lived on the coast most of his life, Dr. Kamelson was all too familiar with the devastation the high winds of a hurricane can bring.
