Ebron ha Mòr: Build It Best ICF Home Showcasing the R-Wall System

Ebron ha Mòr is an exceptional coastal home that perfectly demonstrates the performance and design freedom of the R-Wall Insulated Concrete Formwork system. Winner of Best ICF Home , the project stands as a benchmark for modern, low-energy construction and highlights how innovative building methods can deliver both architectural quality and long-term performance.

Designed to respond to its exposed setting, Ebron ha Mòr combines strong, contemporary form with materials chosen for durability and efficiency. Built using the R-Wall ICF system, the home benefits from a solid concrete core wrapped in high-performance, closed-cell insulation, creating a structure that is exceptionally strong, naturally airtight, and highly resistant to the elements. This makes it ideally suited to challenging coastal and rural environments.

The house achieves outstanding thermal performance, with zero cold bridging and excellent use of thermal mass to stabilise internal temperatures throughout the year. As a result, heating demand is significantly reduced, delivering low running costs and a consistently comfortable living environment. The robust construction ensures the building will not suffer from post-construction movement, rot, or degradation, providing long-term peace of mind and an expected lifespan of over 60 years.

Architecturally, Ebron ha Mòr demonstrates the flexibility of the R-Wall system. Clean lines, generous glazing, and carefully considered proportions create a bright, modern home that maximises natural light and views, without compromising energy efficiency. Complex details, angles, and openings are achieved without increasing build cost or complexity, thanks to R-Wall’s modular approach.

Ebron ha Mòr not only showcases what is possible with ICF construction but also exemplifies why R-Wall was recognised as the Build It Best ICF Home winner, setting a new standard for sustainable, high-performance residential design.
