About the project

A modern masterpiece that embodies the Carbon approach.

Created as both a showcase of Carbon’s advanced building techniques and a sanctuary for Founder and CEO Sam Fertik’s family, this 11,750-square-foot home represents the future of luxury living.

Its Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) and steel structure delivers unparalleled strength and energy efficiency, while our obsession with crafting every detail - from the footings to the finishes - creates the elevated ‘lived experience’ that we are now renowned for.

Process

Engineered for Family and Future

Spanning more than 11,700 square feet, this home balances scale with serenity. Expansive living areas, five bedrooms, and thoughtfully designed spaces for work, play, and wellness are complemented by a fully equipped workshop and generous three-car garage.

Rated at R70 and featuring triple-pane European glass across half the exterior, it’s beautifully filled with light and still over four times more efficient than a standard ‘stick-built’ home.

Designed to perform, built to last, and crafted with care for people and the planet.
