Right, Dutchmen have designed a virtually flood-proof home that would
be ideal for hurricane country in the U.S.. The foundation is a steel
reinforced concrete box about 2.5 meters high. The foundation does
triple duty: it functions as a barge and floats the house plus cars
when waters come, it's a basement, and it's a house foundation.
Additionally, like the Quonset Hut, the roof is based on the Roman
arch, so it is able to survive high winds. As I see it, this house
design is ideal for New Orleans.
congrats, Hollanders!
