This house was built in response to a flood damaged two story house that sat on the ground. Due to multiple floods over the years the existing house just couldn’t take the last flood. So we came up with the solution of a house on stilts. Instead of using columns, we chose to use walls of varying lengths to orient view, create privacy, and allow for the proper structural integrity. The new living spaces of this house are elevated twelve to seventeen feet above the ground. The main interior and exterior spaces, along with the gracious roof deck, are oriented toward the pool and large garden areas of the property. The massive wall facing West Wesley allows for maximum privacy with varying opportunities to peek out at the street life.
