Thank you, Construction Specifier, for the recent feature in your magazine!
For several years, Hubbell & Hubbell has been designing homes with Insulated Composite Concrete Form (ICCF) construction, and it has been incredibly rewarding to see how this approach can contribute to creating safer, more resilient places to live.
By incorporating ICCF into our designs, we are creating homes that are more resistant to fire while also offering the strength and durability needed to withstand the increasingly unpredictable forces of nature.
This is especially important throughout the Western United States, where the ever-present threat of wildfire has made resilience an essential consideration in residential design.
Building homes that can better withstand fire, extreme winds, severe storms, and earthquakes does more than protect structures. It helps protect the people who live in them. The devastation caused by wildfires extends far beyond the immediate loss of life, homes, and businesses. When entire neighborhoods are destroyed, residents are often forced to leave, scattering families and businesses to other communities and fundamentally altering the character of a place overnight.
Designing for resilience is therefore not simply about protecting an individual home; it is about helping preserve the continuity, identity, and vitality of an entire community.
At Hubbell & Hubbell, we believe architecture has an important role to play in preparing communities for the challenges ahead. By thoughtfully integrating resilient construction methods and materials into beautiful, enduring designs, we can create homes that not only respond to their environment, but help safeguard the people and communities who call them home.
