CONCRETE PROGRESS | JULY 2025
House A significantly reduces its concrete use by eliminating the traditional floor slab. Instead, the home features a suspended timber floor system on piles, drastically lowering embodied carbon. The small amount of concrete that is used (limited to the pile & portal footings) is effectively offset by the use of carbon-negative materials throughout the rest of the structure.
