Dan at Sawatsky Imagination Corporation is the creative director behind concrete signage and decor used in theme parks around the world.
His latest build is his own home. In which he is documenting from the excavation to the roofing. You can find his blog here.

He used Fastfoot to form his footings, and Logix ICF for the walls. Video/photo testimonial found here

The home is using Innotech Windows. They are basically German windows but they are manufactured in Canada.

Anyone ever use that brand?

They also used Logix ICF blocks. Aren't Logix blocks basically Fox Blocks?

No.  What gave you that impression?

The forms are different and not interchangeable based on drawings on their respective websites.

Also, Logix is a Canadian company.  Fox Blocks is a US company (Airlite Plastics in Omaha, Nebraska)

FYI (arkie6 et al)

Logix ICF is actually 'owned' by a group of manufacturers, working in corcert sharing similarities to a sports league - independent owners all with a single product line purpose. Logix is produced in 11 or 12 plants here across North America many in the US - as the Maine distributor our inventory is produced both in Coburg Ontario (a quick overnight trip by truck) or now Proudly Made In The Northeast USA! 'right next door in Massachusetts! Perfect for my architects/developer/builders seeking LEED or PH certification!

No kidding too - very cool house!!
