Abstract:
The Waters family concrete house in Madison, MS, USA, was built to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) Fortified Standard. The outer shell of the home, constructed using insulated concrete form (ICF) walls, provides a quiet living space and outstanding resistance to heat transfer. While the master closet with a heavy-gauge steel door doubles as a safe room.
