Circular Home in Florida – Deltec Homes
It’s Friday and time for another post featuring floor plans. This week, in another attempt to build awareness of green home builders and green home building, we are featuring circular floor plans offered by Deltec Homes in Western North Carolina. Circular homes typically use less land when compared to a traditional home meaning the home has fewer contact with adverse weather conditions. From the Deltec Homes website, “Compare a Deltec Sierra model with 1600 sq. ft to a traditional 1600 sq. ft home, and you will find that the total square footage in contact with the outside environment is almost 650 square feet fewer!”…”There is not enough surface area on any part of the house for pressure to build up. Deltec Homes have fewer drafts, increased comfort for their occupants and lower energy use compared with traditional designs.”

Deltec Homes uses building materials and a building system that minimizes waste, maximizes a home’s durability and helps conserve energy, ultimately reducing a homes carbon footprint. In addition to the floor plans found here, you can customize floor plans and request samples of different floor plans that are not available on the Deltec Home website.

Is a circular home something you would consider for your family’s next home?

That’s a cool looking house. Have you seen it in person?
Adams last blog post..Neil Young’s Electric Car and Other Electric Vehicles
@Adam – No, I have not seen the home in person. It does look pretty slick though!
I wouldn’t mind living in a house like that, sure does look much cooler than all the others I’ve seen.
Very unusual shape, surely though this sort of design would not maximize usable space and therefore reduce the sites footprint.
@Caroline – Ya what a unique shape… what ever helps decrease your carbon footprint.
@Blogoholic – I know, I haven’t seen a house like that before.
That really is a cool looking house! I’ve been around the construction industry for many years, not too long ago, and I’ve never seen anything like this home.
that house is really cool,thanks for sharing!
Great information on green homes. The floor plan is so natural and easy to see that it is the way to go moving forward. I am a small business owner that builds additions and I really enjoyed looking at the floor plans.
This is nice. Thank you
The house is pretty cool, Thanks.
I am from Africa and i stumbled upon your website randomly and i have been glued since,Deltic homes are tremendously unique and surprisingly very functional.In my country we strictly build with brick and cement and not wood because of the hot and wet weather season that create breeding ground for termites to eat up the wood,i love the round shape and was wondering if the concept will come through with brick and cement.Fantastic job,well done deltic homes.
The shape of the house brings a lot of character to the overall physique and look of the home. Is the same type of flooring evident throughout the entire house? It looks like tile in the kitchen but what about other areas of the house?
I live in Western North Carolina where Deltec is Based. They have a new model open & have seen several in person. While definitely different the usage of space would take a little getting used to. However acoustically, no 2 walls area parallel, energy-wise its very efficient too. There is no single panel greater than 8feet wide so it is very wind resistant. There are many stories of hurricanes (with appropriate wind package) not doing any damage to these homes other than a few singles gone if that while their neighboring rectangular counterparts are leveled. My wife & I are seriously considering this for out next home.
I live in one. Have for 5 years…an older model. From what I hear it has been left alone…run down…we polished it up. You should see people drive by. They stare.
