| CCTerraHome’s use of the Gothic Arch as its underlying principle provides a strength and beauty rarely seen in present day building structures. This theme is one that challenges the architectural norm of today. The angular box style house most people live in is one of few options offered--TerraHome is an exciting new alternative design in a manufactured home kit. The search for deeper harmony within one's living space and environment has been pursued for centuries. In the East this study is known as Feng-Shui. The TerraHome arch system, with its cathedral like ceilings and self supporting frame encompasses the spatial harmony of Feng-Shui. TerraHomes' unique architectural features can be easily adapted to any geographical environment. This design can utilize most insulation technologies including straw bale. TerraHome is a unique living environment designed for the health and harmony of the soul. |

| The idea for the first TerraHome Rib System began in 1995 by the founder Sigi Malinowski forming Creative Construction L.L.Co. The purpose for the arches were originally to enclose the width of a straw bale to their apex, but were soon seen to have a wider range of possibilities. Joining forces with his brother; Vincent Malinowski, German Architect and Feng-Shui master, and Donald Gabrich also from Germany, who graciously provided financial support, they created a masterfully artistic design for the discriminating home builder. The grand cathedral like atmosphere of the arches with 11” wide trusses are well suited for extreme snow loads and heavy wind. The graceful curves of the structure are soothing and in alignment with the principals of Feng-Shui, providing a unique and pleasing living space. The trusses are made at the factory in Nucla, Colorado and then shipped to the building site. Within a few days, the complete frame of the TerraHome Rib System is erected and ½” roof sheeting is applied. Note we offer the shell only which consists of the ribs, fastening hardware and perlin. At this point of completion a Contractor and crew of your choice can finish the manufactured home kit to your specifications with ease.

| The TerraHome’s Rib System design embraces a simplistic and efficient approach to building which saves time and man- hours, cuts down on design costs, and minimizes the headaches of load-bearing walls and delays caused by inclement weather. CCTerraHomes' load bearing arch frame makes building the rest of the house easy. The TerraHome is a creative alternative to the box style home. This unique architecture allows for easy future expansion without compromising the integrity of the design. The development of the Terrahome Rib System has undergone years of research and engineering. The ease at which the TerraHome is constructed is a home builders' dream come true! The TerraHome can also incorporate other building methods such as: "Post and Beam","Timber Frame", "Log Home" and other popular methods," In our research we have identified new construction technologies that can be utilized in the Terrahome design, such as aerBLOCK: Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), and others.. |

| The TerraHome truss system utilizes the Gothic arch which has been used throughout history to construct buildings whose natural strength have withstood the elements and the test of time. The self-supported arch without intersecting beams or supports grants total unimpeded space throughout the entire height of the structure's interior. Alternatively, the use of elaborate beams and crossmembers can be used to create a traditional effect if desired. The TerraHome's design optimizes usable and cost-effective living space providing dynamic curvatures merged within the principals of Feng Shui. This ancient Eastern science coupled with extensive German engineering brings an "East meets West" concept to life. |
