Project Overview
TC Legend Homes Anacortes Award Winner
“This was a very difficult site, with very little room to store materials on-site. The use of SIPS allowed us to bring in a very compact set of wall panels, install them, and then bring in the triangle-shaped roof panels, install the roof in just one day, including the roof beams. You would have been there for weeks trying to stick-frame this roof, and would not have even been able to meet the ventilation requirements for a vented roof system. Though not required in this location, the home also meets the requirements for the Wildlands-Urban Interface Code.”
