Building the Celebration Idea House

The outside walls and the two broad, sloping roofs of the Celebration Idea House were built with structural insulated panels (SIPs), precut units that not only speed construction but assure a tight, energy-efficient shell.

The SIP panels that will become the walls and roof arrive stacked on a flat-bed trailer. Each 4-foot-wide panel arrives cut to size and numbered, which speeds on-site assembly.
