This is a Hurricane Resistant Residence along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. As a response to Hurricane Rita, our client has asked us to design a residence which would be capable of withstanding storm surge and hurricane force winds. This is a hybrid construction, consisting of a Monolithic Concrete Foundation on Piles driven into the unstable soils of coastal Louisiana, ICF poured concrete walls, Structrual Steel Columns and Connections, along with Heavy Timber Trusses and Decking. To our knowledge the first of it's kind!
