There's a new kind of house going up in the Triangle. The for sale sign on Wake Forest Road doesn't tell the whole story behind these new town homes in the Mordecai neighborhood. From the outside, it looks like any other new home.
Prospective buyers look around the inside and think the same thing.
With the exception of the roof, it's a concrete house. And from the concrete crown molding to the medallion design in the thinly plastered concrete ceiling, it appears to have worked. It's very unusual. It's like living in your own bomb shelter. Concrete isn't a good insulator but it is good for thermal storage.
