circular built in breakfast nook, cabinets that follow the gentle curve of
the exterior wall and a painting behind the cook top that was created by the
home owner and then protected with a sheet of glass. A walk-in pantry, craft
room and laundry room sit adjacent to the kitchen as well as a rear door
that leads to the detached garage. |

Environmentally-
Friendly |
 |
|
This residence was constructed with an environmentally-friendly
concrete form system called RASTRA®. It is made of a
lightweight material called THASTYRON, which provides a permanent framework
for a grid of reinforced concrete that forms load-bearing walls, shear
walls, stem walls, lintels, retaining walls, and other components of a
building. THASTYRON offers insulation, soundproofing, and fire
protection in one easy-to-install element. THASTYRON is also resistant
against frost and against heat radiation. It does not entertain mold or
attract nesting insects. 85% of its volume is recycled postconsumer
polystyrene waste, which very likely would have ended up in landfills never
to disappear.
