Joe’s Home
Project Details
This is a remote custom-built off-grid home in Burk’s Falls, Ontario that was built using 17 tilt-up panels to create a sustainable construction experience.
Joe Vella wanted his lifestyle to be more sustainable, reduce his monthly expenses and use the talents of local experts. He reached out to many contractors, who refused to even consider his audacious idea. Tilt Wall was open and willing to help Joe realize his dreams.
Using Tilt Wall’s construction technique, knowledge and willingness to try new things, the exterior insulated walls and interior non-insulated walls were formed on the concrete floor and tilted into place in just a few days over a month. Creating and assembling wall sections onsite lowered construction costs and increased energy efficiencies.
The result was a durable concrete structure that uses thermal mass properties to greatly reduce the amount of energy required to maintain comfortable interior temperatures – Joe could not be happier.
