Located northwest of Los Angeles, the home features products made from carbon and stainless steels using coatings that contain the AgION [TM] antimicrobial compound. Antimicrobial--coated steels reduce bacteria, mold and fungus growth.

In total, the AK Steel Concept Home incorporates about 100 tons of steel, including 17.5 tons of steel coated with the antimicrobial compound. Steel with the antimicrobial coating can be found in the kitchen's appliances and ceiling panels, door handles throughout the home and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

The home's structural framing and portions of the exterior are also made of steel, enhancing the home's appearance and making it easier to maintain and more resistant to fire. earthquakes and insect damage.

"The home's unique use of antimicrobial-coated steel is in response to the demand for products that help keep homes cleaner," Alan H. McCoy, vice president of public affairs for AK Steel, says. "The AK Steel Concept Home also demonstrates how steel can enhance structural and architectural elements of residential construction," he adds.

The dramatic 11,000-square-foot home is the residence of Ed and Madeleine Landry. Designed by nationally renowned architect David Martin of A.C. Martin Partners, the home's property borders Rocky Peak State Park and Pioneer Park in Simi Valley, Calif.
