DAC-ART Building System


This to us is a little like a mini-McMansion but worth investigating. The owners have a nice before and after of both Ivan and Katrina at the Link and show the vacation house still standing- good sign. The house is in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Dac-Art are hollow blocks filled with concrete and are shipped to be built as a modular wall system. This photo shows hurricane proof shutters on the windows. We like this idea but are not sold on the look of this house and would need to learn more on how environmentally friendly this material could be.

Phase II of this project will be chronicled at Concrete Cottage

The first structure is only 600 sq ft. and is intended to be a pool house/ guest house eventually. It is a typical rural Italian style bldg.

Thanks for the heads-up. We'll definitely check in with progress.
