Flood Proof Housing
Inhabitat - Flood Proof House by F9 Productions
The fundamentals of this design are quite simple, yet quite effective. F9 raised the majority of the home a full story with minimal spaces and amenities on the ground plane. The house has steel paneling around the outside to protect the house from floating debris during floods.
Although this house design is resilient and a successful design i kind of feel like the idea is half baked. If your going to raise the house why not raise everything? The design also feels half realized as the ground plane isn't really used, ie the area under the house is a concrete slab. surely this area could be better utilised, maybe for a veggie garden or something??
