This flood house design that won us the LJ Hooker Grantham Affordable Flood Home Design award incorporates lightweight building materials that are durable and have climatic benefits, an unbeatable combination.

This flood-prone house design we created and would recommend was built on posts such that the living and sleeping areas were and would be raised to the flood level, to the height required. For the non-elevated areas, the design provides for garaging and also multi-purpose rooms. Again specific building materials would be utilised that would allow for quick cleanup in the event of a flood, and minimal damage would be incurred.

Part of what we consider to be optimal for home designs in flood-prone areas is a series of pavilions each catering for different lifestyle and family needs. Another excellent advantage of this design style is that future expansion of the home (when more funds are available, or living needs change) is the easy incorporation into the home design of additional further interlocking pavilions elevated on poles in the same design.

Finally, we at dion seminara architecture design homes that not only cater for the environment in which they are placed but also take advantage of what nature provides. Thus our eco-friendly designs create wonderful homes to live in, have less impact on the environment, have lower running costs and are also very durable. While we custom design homes (in and out of flood zones) to provide our clients with the home of their dream, we can create from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
