224 Office of Architecture Wimberley, TX ABOVE & FACING PAGE: Our sustainable approach worked well on the Harper Bunk House. In order to build a minimal, modern home that was as efficient as possible, we opted for sustainable materials and techniques. For exterior walls, we chose ICFs (composite insulating concrete forms) finished off with a stucco exterior and a plaster interior finish. Made with more than 60-percent recycled material, this ICF is reliably resistant to common household concerns, making it an ideal way to insulate the home. Natural, energy-efficient materials are found throughout the house, including poured concrete, glass, wood, and stone. Even the landscaping was designed with a no-fuss approach, reflecting the site's natural vegetation. Photographs by Brian Mihealsick See more about Office of Architecture on page 461
