2008 Small Residential
2nd Runner Up
Forest Studio, designed and built by owners Amy Stone and John Rutherford, is great example of how ICFs work just as well for small residences as they do for larger ones. Built adjacent to the Santa Fe National Forest, the home is accessible only by a dirt road. The home, studio, courtyard walls, and outbuildings were all carefully designed to match block dimensions.
