Concrete Homes at the Oregon Coast? Saving our trees one block at a time.

Leading edge technologies that incorporate “green” architecture and sustainable development concepts are being fully implemented at "The Villages at Cascade Head”. And it all starts with one concrete concept.

 

Created by PolySteel™, reinforced concrete with expanded polystyrene and galvanized steel creates the exterior walls of these beautiful, sustainable dwellings. Located on the magnificent Oregon Coast, The Villages at Cascade Head’s architects and developers knew that using PolySteel™ would have multiple benefits to both the earth, and the home’s owners. Virtually eliminating moisture problems and creating a quieter, more structurally secure and energy-efficient dwelling are just a few of the benefits. Eliminating the need for lumber also helps save forest lands and natural resources, and that is what makes this concrete so “green.” Using this technology, these Oregon coast homes truly blend ecologically and naturally into the unmatched, pristine setting.

 

This building method is just one way that The Villages at Cascade Head has earned LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) platinum certification , a third-party certified seal of quality in environmental sustainability and performance developed by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to nationally recognize green homebuilding.
