Scope Of Work

How many people have toured through Europe and been inspired by the ancient architecture? Throughout history Americans have been inspired to recreate these European masterpieces here in the United States.  When Clark Scott and his wife, Kelly, toured the English and Italian countrysides, they fell in love with their castles and had this dream. It was at that point Clark decided that he wanted to bring those styles back to the U.S. and make them the foundation of his new Louisville home design. He also made a decision, like many in those ancient civilizations, to build with concrete. And while he admired the strength of these castles that have stood for centuries, he found an easier way to build them: insulating concrete forms (ICFs). 

There was no shortage of concrete used on this job, exceeding 1,200 cubic yards throughout construction. To put this into perspective, the average house in the Louisville market uses a little more than 100 yards of concrete. In addition to the large amount of concrete used, there were more than 23,000 square feet of Nudura insulating concrete forms used, with 4,600 square feet of that coming in radius walls. The basement was built using a 12-inch concrete core, the first floor used a 10-inch core, and the second floor was an 8-inch core. The radius turrets were all built with ICFs and were custom made at the manufacturing plant and shipped to the job.
