Flood-Proof House by Studio Peek Ancona
· A built flood-proof prototype for flood zones worldwide: a building that remains intact after a major flood, tsunami, or sea level increase. · A sustainable kit of parts with a prefab steel frame and local cladding materials is designed for both local customization and global application. · Plug-in adaptability: the central cantilevered truss provides an architectural “plug” as a solution to the client’s request to preserve the adjacent historic house. The truss functions as a circulation core and bridge for site expandability. · Marin County certified Platinum for sustainable design, including an innovative foundation system that uses thirty percent less materials than current flood-resistant buildings
