Vashon Island concrete residence
|
The Vashon Island project used six different types of concrete elements to create a 2,300-square-foot home. The elements included: foam blocks filled with concrete for a retaining wall, garage walls and shop/studio walls; shotcreted walls, trowel-finished on the interior and rock-faced on the exterior; insulated concrete slab-on-grade interior floors that were acid-etched for design; kitchen and bathroom counter tops made of a superfine cementitious Japanese product; mortared stone for some interior walls; and gable ends and an exterior balcony that were faced with cement and wood fiberboard siding.
First runner-up was the La Crosse project in Vancouver. It features decorative concrete for the home's long, sweeping driveway. Details found in the driveway include traditional lightly-broomed panels with transverse borders of black concrete. A longitudinal ribbon of the same black texture leads to the portico of the home's main entrance.
