The Hossack House has an outside ICF wall on the Second Floor that has no load bearing support wall or header underneath. The wall was built as an 8 foot deep beam. I have a number of posts on the Hossack House in Independence Twp Michigan. My last post related to the Hossack House was on Feb-17-2007.

In my Jan-10-2007 post on Dan-Hossack-ICF-House I wrote about the rough framing inspection and the need to submit details of installation of Open-Web-Steel Joists to the Independence Twp Building Department.

On the North-West end of the house is the Sun Room at the First Floor level with a Gable roof. The Second Floor ICF wall which is set back to the South was designed as a deep beam with a span of nominally 18 ft. The wall is more than 8 feet high, so the beam has enough depth.

I present here some pictures of the outside with Sun Room on the First Floor at the North West end, the upper level exterior wall set back to the South, and some pictures of the interior of the floor below the Second Floor ICF wall.
