a vision of building straw-bale homes using a wide, curved, load-bearing Rib
System. It is the Rib System that sets the TerraHome apart from all other types of
manufactured homes.
The Gothic Arch, which every TerraHome Rib duplicates, has been used throughout
history to construct buildings that have withstood the elements and the test of
time. The self-supported arch does not need internal beams or supports, and, when
constructed with our joining components, provides up to 20 foot high cathedral
ceilings. The cathedral effect, usually associated with a substantial investment, is
one of the astounding internal features that comes standard with the TerraHome.
Building with the TerraHome Rib System is very comparable in cost to standard
building methods. The TerraHomes' interior and exterior framing can be done
without special material or construction methods and may be used in conjunction
with log home, timber frame and post and beam buildings to list a few. Our Rib
System brings a savings in time and man-hours, design costs, headaches of load-
bearing walls and minimizing the time spent dealing with inclement weather. With a
more simplistic and efficient approach to building, The TerraHome gives you or your
clients the opportunity to experience something very unique and extremely exclusive
in a manufactured home. The TerraHome is the perfect alternative to a box styled
home and can be the complete open canvas for the creative enthusiast. It was also
designed so one could afford the home of their dreams.
Unlike the construction of conventional homes, the unique arched design of the
TerraHome makes living spaces light and spacious with soaring cathedral-style
ceilings. The spatial harmony of the elegantly gentle curving walls and rooflines
result from the artful integration of Feng Shui and the expertise of our architectural
firm from Wiesbaden Germany. The TerraHomes' completely usable, cost-effective
living space, and dynamic curvatures inspire magnificent proportions and truly has
brought an “East meets West” concept to life.
Extensive research and engineering has made the building of a TerraHome quick and
efficient as well as extremely exciting, making it a home builders dream come true.
The TerraHomes' cathedral architecture can also be teamed up with other building
methods such as: "Post and Beam","Timber Frame", "Log Home" and other popular
methods.
