More Than an Architectural Design
Originally designed
to beat the oil crisis of the 70's, the Formworks structure system was
aimed at prospective middle-class American home-builders as a relatively
simple, do-it-yourself home-package including:
- a custom home
architectural design,
- building plans,
- construction guide,
- steel framework
kit,
- fiber sheeting,
- waterproofing,
and
- lot assessment!
Over the years, the
Formworks system gradually found favor with hundreds of luxury home
builders/owners due to the system's inherent beauty, unique features
and unparalleled versatility but still, the majority of homes
built are "family homes" built by local contractors who
assemble the framework and build the homes just as they would any
home design and for roughly the same price as any new construction.
Unlike many architectural
dream-houses or "artist conceptions" the Formworks homes
are actually built, used and loved by hundreds of home builders and
home owners all around the country
