In the Arizona desert, Derek and Hanna built their home from ICF — foam blocks stacked into walls, then filled with concrete. The foam stays. The concrete becomes the structure. Steel fibers mixed straight into the slab instead of rebar. A polished concrete floor that was decided months before anyone saw it. A gray-water system that puts shower water back into the landscape. A steel patio fabricated on site. A staircase that glows from underneath.
